>> speak French, Italian, and Spanish...but does that even really count? For an English speaker, French and Spanish probably should each count for about half of a language compared to learning a truly foreign language. Adding Italian to Spanish should count for less than a half (maybe a quarter?). However, trying to maintain Italian and Spanish simultaneously is very confusing due to the strong similarity.
