Is that true? Does that even make sense? When I was in Mexico some of the more educated locals at the resort told me that.. apparently the two languages are very similar?

First I've heard of that...could be I guess.

You bet they are similar though. All feminine/masculine stuff (pronouns?). Lots of similar sounding words. Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish and Portugese all are similar I'm told.

I'm probably better off mastering English before any of them first though.
