This is the perfect question for my friend Alanzinho to answer. Very happy I hope he will be here to answer it.
I think there are certain differences between Brazilian Portuguese and the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. There must be differences in accents, definitely, and probably there are certain different words, too.

olá

Um brasileiro que ama Portugal está de passagem por aqui ... Smile

The two languages are very different.
Pronounciation, a great deal of vocabulary, expressions with different meanings, ways to form sentences also vary, etc. Not to mention regional differences, which are big in Brazil (I wouldnt know about Portugal).

Pronounciation of the two are quite different. I have a few Portuguese friends, and sometimes is not possible to understand what they are saying. We laugh a lot when it happens...
Watching the Portuguese RTP cable channel sometimes can be very difficult. Simply nothing of what they are saying gets in. Smile Perhaps I am a total waste! Smile

OK. Though difficult, it is not impossible to understand each other (portuguese and brazilians) nowadays, but since this is the case of one language evolving in two different countries far apart, as time goes by, the gap will certainly widen.
