I am at B2 level in Italian and since this is my first Romance language and I want to
learn (or at least be familiar with) the rest, could someone suggest the order in which I should learn them. Here's what I plan to do: Italian > French > Portuguese > Spanish I am a student of Linguistics and I am more interested in studying the language rather than learning any of them for communicative purposes. Thanks Edited by sofiapofia on 16 October 2011 at 10:46pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Indeed, however, I do not wish to learn Romanian in the near future and would like to concentrate on the languages I mentioned in my first post. Edited by sofiapofia on 17 October 2011 at 12:15am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You mentioned that you don't want to learn most of these languages, just study them. From my understanding, Romanian is unique for a Romance language in its grammatical structure. Edited by Kartof on 17 October 2011 at 4:32am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you just want to study them I would do
Italian>French>Spanish>Portuguese Mainly because French is most similar to Italian, and a good transition into Spanish. And since Portuguese and Spanish are very similar it makes sense to put them together. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Here's a video by Dr. Arguelles that touches on this question. Granted, he's talking about Spanish->French->Italian->German, but you might find some guidance there.

Something like Occitan might be neat to look into.
