cunning linguist

allegedly it is easier to learn new languages one at a time. but i wonder, if one wants to learn 10 languages, would it be easier to learn them all in parallel? maybe the brain would then treat each language as a mode in a more complicated metalanguage, with part of the grammer being which language was currently in use.

Heh - I'm learning Spanish right now, and I'm very rusty on the bits of French, German, Latin, and Japanese I know. And if I could just plug modules into my brain I would like to learn Welsh and some more Asian languages and something North Germanic and some ancient languages.

Whoops. My reply to your comment ended up a separate thread. Sorry about that! :/
