Teach them portuguese instead!
Portuguese can understand spanish... but spanish people can't understand portuguese!
Teaching them English was fun. I never knew how bad I sucked as a teacher until I had to teach my own kids to speak English lol.
The difference is the amount of different sounds you can make.
Portuguese has what some call "12 vowels"... spanish has little over 5.... and spanish sounds a lot like arabic...meh

Portuguese sounds like russian!
Do use a proper portuguese teacher... not a brazillian... that's a whole different language!
