But after that large hurtle to learn a second one, even if you didn't learn it fluently, its already easier to learn yet another. The more languages one trys and the more one can confidently say one has "under their belt" the easier and easier one will find to learning them.
Esperanto is a good language to learn as a second language because of all the languages it was created from. And unlike ethnic languages, its easy because there are no irregularities. The irregularites of a language are usually the hardest to learn, so esperanto did away with them. Its a good base because you learn a lot of words that are in other languages (ie German 'bild' = picture and Esperanto 'bildo' = picture), so if you want to try them then you've already got a little experience. And just learning the grammar gives one a new perspective of speaking, and the openness and flexibility of the grammar allows one to experiment with it, swaping the different parts of a sentence. So then, if one were to learn another language (for instance Japanese) whose grammar structure may be completely different from their native, one could go back to esperanto, swap the grammar, and start to practice to learn this new form of communicating. and they'd still be understandable to other esperantits.
so in short, the more languages learned means the easier it is to learn. and the easier it is to learn, then the more you can learn. so its a double plus.

How do some of the users on this site learn multiple languages? I would like to know how some achieve this, and possibly do so myself. Languages are fascintating to me.
I took Latin for two years, and I took French for a total of six (four in high school and two in college). The way people learn multiple languages is the the same way the learn a second language: Hard work and use.
For me picking up Esperanto is considerably easier for me since I was used to declinations (grammar-coding). All I had to do was be introduced to helpi, lerni, spekti, demando, and a host of others one time and I had them. Similarly there are many French cognants: paroli, fenestro, dormi, seĝo, mangxi. Many of the false cognants are true cognants in French: duŝo, atendi, asisti, were like meeting a friend's twin I never knew existed.
Still there are words I have to memorize just like I had to memorize la fenestre and la siège when I was learning French: knabo, bildo, ŝati, ambaŭ, antauŭ, etc. The correlatives are giving me fits and spells.
In the end you learn multiple languages like you learned Esperanto: through study, use, and hard work.

learning another language never translate in your mind.you got let your mind
flow like water,if you don't understand some word in the language you lerning just get the donkey killer(dictionary) to find out.and second start

Some means that it is very much but in fact, I don't see it that way. And I am still learning new languages.... Take my advice, and koncentrate when learning a language. Take one step several times, for example "Step 1, for morning and for evening". You don't learn a language in one day.

I can't even write this text in esperanto yet. But I'll try:
Kiom bone vi parolas ĉi tiujn lingvojn? Ĉu vi povas paroli "Mi deziras enlitigi min nun" en la kopta al mi?
Mi eĉ ne povas skribi ĉi tion tektston en esperanto jam. Sed mi provis
