Aha, I suppose it is, and of course it is taken from to be, something I didn't know until I started learning other languages.
Spanish is great, I love it, and am (almost) fluent myself, I have just started learning Mandarin, which is hard as hell, but fun. Even though you can learn it using the lettering we're all familiar with, it still hurts my head to remember stuff.
I would love to learn Portuguese as well, though the Brazilian version, as I love the sound. I find when it is spoken by people from Portugal, it sounds a lot more Slavic.
A friend once said to me that; "Portuguese is Spanish with your mouth full!"
