I would like to be fluent on sight reading with violin and piano. But I think I need 10,000 hours for each.

At 4 years old, my cousin in Canada could speak English to us, Polish to her grandmother, and French to shopkeepers.

Children can learn two languages at once. Don't know about adults.
A friend of mine was taking German. He was married to a German wife. They decided that he would speak only English to his son and she would speak only German. Their kid learned both languages very well.
They did a study one time with kids and adults learning three languages and they tested the language centers of their brains before and after. The adults had three different spots in their language centers, one for each language. The kids had only one spot which housed all three languages.

My nephew is married to a Puerto Rican girl. Their three daughters learned, and are learning, two languages from birth and do fine.

It’s been over fifteen years of studying Chinese, and my dog still speaks it better than I do. Ugh!
There are a host of other factors involved.

Most people in Asia learn 2-3 languages at a very early age (preK). I could program in Assembler, C++, Java, ADA, and COBOL. Could move from one set of code to another seamlessly. Language should not be any different.
