I haven't done all of them, but I did Romance Philology as a major at university, so I did several of them at the same time, although I was at various stages in each of them and I studied some only to passive knowledge. I already had a very good level in Spanish and French, and I then embarked upon Latin, Italian, Romansh and Catalan, all more or less at the same time. I also spent two-three years on Romanian, although mostly passive, and less time on Portuguese. I just read some texts in Occitan.
Personally I would not consider Esperanto a Romance language, although I know it is partly based on Romance languages. By the way, if you are C2 in Spanish then you are more than semi-fluent. C2 means you are proficient and can use the language without difficulties in almost all circumstances. Edited by Ogrim on 18 March 2014 at 12:31pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

do you think it would be worth it to even both with esperanto given that my Spanish is as good as it is C2 level?
I've read that by learning esperanto it can help expedite the process of learning a language like french, which i plan to do. Also, on the side i want to learn some euskera, even though i don't plan to pursue this as much as the french/esperanto?

You should learn Esperanto for its own sake.

Am I the only one who thinks this long term planning is a waste of time? It's rather as if you were, at age 18, carefully deciding on the invitation list to your 40th birthday party. Or at age 6, deciding on what haircut will suit your (future) third son best. The point being that in the time it takes you to learn any one of those languages so many things will have changed, not least your own desires and interests, that whatever conclusions or plans you make today will no longer be relevant. Romanian may become fashionable. French may die out. You marry an Italian girl. Etc.
Or maybe other people are better at long term planning than I. My advice? Of those languages, pick one or two or three or four that you are particularly fond of. Set about learning them. Apply your time there--not on making lists for twenty-year plans. (I am of course being entirely hypocritical writing this, as anyone can look at my profile and find a similarly extensive list. Perhaps I'm criticizing myself more than anyone.) 11 persons have voted this message useful | |||
