its not really the same with French + Spanish
Learning French first isn't a 2 minute endeavour, its something that can take years and years (and it also depends on your definition of having "learned" the language, you don't really learn a language until you can converse fluently in it, can read and write etc, that takes a ton of time)
Learning French and THEN Spanish is at least a X2 effort.
Unless you're under some misconception that French is easy as all hell to learn (having learned it myself, I can tell you its not easy)
I also speak French. It was easy. But then again, I speak 4 other languages, 3 of which are Romance. This is what we mean by stepping stones. Because French and Spanish are both Romance languages, learning one makes learning the other easier. S’why I took Portuguese and French at the same time.
I was going to say. I speak Spanish, Asturian (which helped with learning Galego), French (it made it much easier to learn Catalan) and English, and although there are some complexities involved (every language does), it's not a Herculean task as IM seems to imply.
