I'm with you on this - I don't know so many languages but have studied a wide range, and am fluent in several programming and human languages.

What I've found that is that once you learn more than one language with different paradigms, it becomes easier to learn another one with a similar or another different paradigm.

As you pointed out, there are only so many ways a language can be designed/structured, and becoming multilingual means getting familiar with the shared (and implicit) models and operations underlying all languages.
