Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 month agoI guess you visited Iguazú… we have kind of a funny situation there cause we tend to understand each other “pretty well” while still speaking our own languages. That has to do with how similar our languages (and cultures) are and with how cool and welcoming brasilian people is.

Yep, Iguazú. I likely felt it because my Spanish is not great, so even though I could make myself understood by Argentinians, the poor Brasilians stood no chance as I murdered Spanish in an attempt to communicate :)
