what are the languages that helped you learn other languages?

I'll start:

As a kid, i learned some basic Japanese. it didn't go anywhere, but growing up, it ended up being actually very useful when i started learning Korean! since the sentence structure is similar and both had measure units, it just kinda felt like meeting up with old friends😅

Also, ice worked on my English for so long, then when learning German, it is so nice to recognize such a big portion of the vocabulary! encountering a new text, even if the text is above my level, the similarity in vocabulary is such a lifesaver, i can actually read stuff! so... yeah, that's nice.

The more languages we encounter, the higher the chances such thing will happen. did you even notice it? with which languages?
