My problem is that whenever I start to study a new language (I'm up to five, not that I can use any of them really, except German) all the old ones come crowding in to say hello! It's almost eerie how clearly they all reside in the same part of the brain. Oddly, German helped with Hebrew (no clue why, maybe the Yiddish in my genetic makeup?) and Italian came WAY easier than French.
I recall Latin was sort of easy in some ways, but the structure is HUGE. I mean it's very regular, once you learn this gigantic framework. That's what I had trouble with - all those gorram declensions! Ack!
