Just there are so different in every aspect, I wondered if - out of any languages - those two would be the best to learn together, little chance of a mix-up and all . . .
I studied Japanese and Chinese at university simultaneously. There are also a bunch of people on some language forum for polylinguals (I don't like the term "polylinguist" for this usage) who study 3+ languages at the same time with success.
