Whats the difference between portuguese and brazilian portu.
I don't think so. It's quite hard to understand european Portuguese even for a Brazilian.
There are a lot of differences between the two portuguese variants:
pronuncition, lexicon, grammar and intonation are quite different. On the whole, European portuguese is harder.

Again with this stupid discussion. The language IS the same, same rules, same grammar, same whatever. It's also very flexible, you can say one thing in many different ways; just because you change the accent and use bad grammar doesn't mean it's a different language entirely.
I agree that European Portuguese is harder, but the questions was "if i Learn brazilian porTUGUESE WOULD I be able to understand portuguese from Portugal"? And of course, Guest would.

If I learn Canadian Engish would I be able to understand British English?
YES.
If I learn Mexican Spanish would I be able to understand Iberian Spanish?
YES.
So... it just happends to be that Brazilians like to pretend that their speak their own little language.

The Portuguese can't even realize how different is their language from Standard brazilian. European Porguese has got some peculiar rules of pronunciation, particularly when it's spoken very fast, that makes it very hard to understand
Brazilian and European Portuguese are very far apart—from spelling to the use of verb tenses and terminology. In many situations, the use of European Portuguese is unacceptable to Brazilians, and vice-versa. The choice of words can be completely different and sometimes "laughable." This is specially true when it comes to technical texts, where even the choices of "imported" words are different.
A Brazilian person can read a book or hear an interview on the radio—but that is the extent of the use of European Portuguese in Brazil. In Portugal, Brazilian Portuguese would carry a lot of "mistakes" and awkward word choices and may often be considered an uncultured variation of the European form

BS, in Brazil they speak PORTUGUESE, no brazilian, get over it, the differences are not biggr than America-British English or Mexican-Spaniard Spanish.
The differences are much greater than American English and British or European and American Spanish. That's for sure
Every expert in the two Portuguese variants could confirm this

If Portuguese speakers can understand Spanish, it's stupid to think that they can't understand eachother.

You must be an expert then.
The "two Portuguese" aren't a variant of anything. Maybe Brazillian Portuguese is a variant of European Portuguese. Maybe.

Todas estas formas ja nao se usam no Brasil

In theory, yes, European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are the same language, but I've heard that the Brazilian tend to simplify some things a lot, for example conjugations are simpler , in some way like in English . Some Portuguese argue that Brazilians are too lazy to speak Portuguese properly and thus spoil it.
lol, but still, it's the same language, if they can understand Spanish, they can understand each other, it's ridiculous to say "I speak my own little language".
Lusophones can't understand Spanish und vice-versa. Portuguese and Spanish are two different languages. There is certainly a high level of mutual intelligibility, but this happens with other romance languages.
