Spanish would never pull this BS on you.

The power of phonetic languages.

I don't speak Spanish, but do Spanish authors pull the same shit English ones do, where they give characters absolutely nonsense names with ambiguous pronunciations? Is it even possible? I will read a name of a character or place and spend the next 20 chapters reading the word twice or three times in different ways.

My biggest gripe with spanish is J having the "ha" sound. Juan is spelled "Hoo-an", Jesus is "Heh-zus", etc. If you can get over that, the rest is mostly phonetically sound, like portuguese

I think you'll find even in Spanish Juan is still spelled Juan and Jesus is still spelled Jesus.

Portuguese, to me, sounds like this: msh msh oowow msh msh. I love it.

It's striking how different it sounds. I have knowledge of Latin, French and German, and Portuguese sounds way more like a German dialect on casual overhearing than the one it's derived from or its modern descendant it's closely related to!
