Portugese and Brazilian, while technically the same language, have been isolated for so long that they are more removed than, say, Swedish and Norweigian. It's not as bad as Sicilian and Italian before the advent of radio and TV, but there are quite a few idioms that don't translate across the pond.
As to languages I speak...
English (native language)
Spanish (more or less fluent)
Japanese (I've forgotten most of what I learned)
German (currently taking it)

The door flew open. A Mongol warrior surged into the hut like a savage wind. Two children ran screaming to their mother who was cowering wide eyed in the corner of the tiny room. A dog yelped.
The warrior hurled his torch on to the still glowing fire, and then threw the dog on to it. That would teach it to be a dog.
