I did not say that. I specifically said that proficiency in Spanish (not French, Italian, Catalan, Romanian, or any other Romance language) is very beneficial for those learning Portuguese.
I was referring to cinema of the Spanish-speaking world. Others are also quite good. For the size of its population, I believe Italian cinema is exceptional. Scandinavian cinema is also excellent, but I’m hardly advocating adding Swedish to the BS curriculum; I’m simply pointing out that there is more to language-learning than verb conjugation. But I’m not going to continue to debate since it’s a ToS violation.
