My suggestion would be don't go with Portuguese. I don't know how many languages you already speak, but one of the features of learning a new language is that your brain tends to classify all non-native tongues as the same thing during the learning process. With the result, for me, that when I was learning Indonesian, I tended to fill in the blanks with words I knew in Spanish. Once you actually get the language down, this tendency usually goes away, but it was bad enough for me trying to do this with Indonesian and Spanish, two completely unrelated languages. I can't imagine the kind of hellish nightmare it would be trying to pick through two languages with such similar words/syntax/grammar/everything and still keep them separate and distinct in my mind.

If you are decided on Spanish, then my suggestion would be to pick another language spoken by a large population of the world, thus maximizing the number of people with whom you can communicate. Mandarin Chinese is one option. Hindi would be another.

I did the same thing when I was learning Japanese at first. I spoke conversational Spanish at this point and would just insert random Spanish words or the Japanese words would come out with a Spanish accent. It was quite hilarious my first semester because a friend of mine would do the same thing in French.

Damn, I did the French-instead-of-Japanese thing as well XD
