Narrowing it down, should I live in the Netherlands, Portugal, or Spain? (thelemmy.club)

Hi! So I'm learning Spanish in school, I know some Portuguese which I will perfect with Busuu, and I'm new to Dutch which I will learn with Busuu.

I think it may be hard for me to understand European Portuguese since it is Brazilian Portuguese that I understand, so Spain Spanish will be easier for me.

Dutch is apparently a hardish language according to a Dutch person I know online, but it might be worth it to learn!

Which is kindest to LGBTQ+ and immigrants?

The idea of learning three languages through an app at once in a short period is silly. Which one of these languages do you actually stand a chance at becoming fluent in? Are you already conversational? It's a much lower bar to be able to hold a conversation with someone who's trying to teach you the language and is patient with you than what's needed for every day life. But if you can meet that bar today you'll probably be able to learn the language well too.
