Possible, yes. Easy, no. 1) You need to have at least some natural ability to learn a language quickly. If you struggle to speak proper English, it's going to be more of a challenge. If you don't understand parts of speech, stop now. 2) You need to look at language the way you'd study math or science -- very systematically in order to get the vocab and grammar structure down. 3) You have to be able to keep separate vocabs -- well, separate! I studied French for 3 years and then switched to Spanish. Yikes! I was constantly mixing up vocab the first year. 4) The very, very best way to learn a language is to live in a culture that speaks that language exclusively. Then, when you return "home", make sure you find some native speakers to continue speaking with. I had limited Spanish vocab before moving to Guatemala for a year. I was doing great with Spanish after 6-8 months -- but I left after almost a year and my Spanish speaking abilities all but dried up.
Good luck! Hope you're up for the challenge!

Absolutely. I have so far learned seven languages, but I am fluent in only three of them (since there is little opportunity to use the other four on a daily basis). But with a few weeks stimulation I would be fluent in all of them.
And I know a man who knows about 40 languages, speaks 32 of them, and 15 fluently. He is a true linguistic genius.

Yes of course it is, in fact where I live, there are 73 different languages and most people can speak at least 3 each. But you need to use them regularly or else you begin to forget. I speak 7 (and can read and write in all of them), and sometimes I find myself mixing or answering in the wrong language! I look forward to learning some more too! Good luck. The best is to find a native speaker whom you can converse with regularly, and learn one language at a time. Best of luck!

you should use related languages, if you are learning Spanish learn also Portuguese (yes they are different languages) you can learn Italian. France, after that German. Go for Latin languages if you are an English speaker. Not god to choice Chinese, Arab, Hebraic they are all in different alphabet. You can learn Latin also, but you should be careful not to mixt the languages up. I recommend studding abroad in different country, it will help you to learn quickly an foreign language. Else i recommend chat.
The final answer is yes.

It certainly is possible.
Your best chance would be to be still two years old or younger with a mother who is a translator at the U.N. and who takes you to work everyday.
If you hear a language at an early enough age (before 10 generally) you can speak like a native. After that, you will always speak with an accent.

Yes, but probably not from books. You need to make diverse friend from other places and get them to tutor you. You can get international radio stations on the internet if you want to test yourself. Spanish is a good place to start, since there are plenty of people around to help you practice.

yes, its more than possible. I live here in Jordan and met many people that learned many languages and even more than five. those people have successful businesses. Their advantage is traveling around the world and building their business. There's so much you can do with knowing so many languages.

I am fluent in Greek, english, french, italian, and learning german. So it is possible. But I have worked hard for it since a little child, and I had a skill for it too.

YUP. And I have heard that once you learn a second language it is easier to learn a third because you have had experience with how to go about learning a language.
