Usually interesting to meet a self-identified genius, even if borderline.

I believe Portuguese and Spanish, while both Romance languages, are definitely separate. However, one who speaks one of the languages can usually understand most of another. For example, I was surprised as a kid, when we went to Mexico, and my mother, who spoke French fluently, had no problem communcating with those who were speaking Spanish.
You were being ironic. Given your mother I don’t think you would be particularly interested meeting even a regular genius.
