It depends somewhat on the languages. French and German, being from the same family, have some commonalities which can make grasping the grammar and such easier after having learned the other. And there is a point in which, just seeing how the same principles played out differently in different languages can give one an understanding of the general principles involved in all foreign languages, which you don't have beforehand. I've never found that one language interferes with another. I studied French and German at the same time, and Japanese and Chinese at the same time, and it was not any different than say studying history and math at the same time.
Which was more difficult (in general), Chinese or Japanese?
