After all, there's an almost 90% lexical similarity between the two, meaning that 90% of their words have a cognate (equivalent) in the other language. So, naturally, if you speak one, you'll probably understand a part of the second but don't count on being able to speak it fluently.

Read in Spanish (even as a beginner) Spend time on grammar. Listen to Spanish podcasts and music. Focus on pronunciation. Watch Spanish TV and Movies. Have conversations: Go beyond “¿como estas?” Use apps and social media. Immerse yourself.
