Most of the languages based on latin is somewhat similar and knowing one of them, makes learning the others easier. Not a piece of cake, but easier.
For instance, I can understand Swedish and Norwegian, only because they have the same roots. Also dutch, if you know English and some German, dutch can be almost understandable.
However, I once read in a popular science mag, that the brain is only build for two languages.... However, as this is several years ago, I guess it's sort of old news...
How ya doing, buddy?
