Too Easy?

I've mentioned this in past posts before, but learning Italian, I'm finding, is easy for me. not that I'm halfway to being fluent or anything, but I'm picking it up fast because it is so close to Spanish and because it has some French mixed in. I love that I'm picking it up fast, and it gives me excitement and energy and confidence in myself and that helps me with the other languages I'm learning. however, I am finding that I feel like...like I'm cheating because it it so easy for me to learn, like I'm not really learning it. of course that's not true. a language doesn't have to be hard for it to count as you learning that language. but for some reason, that's how it feels to me. that I'm not really learning Italian, or that I'm cheating somehow. maybe its because Mandarin is so challenging to learn, as well as Biblical Greek. so in comparison to those, Italian is easy, and my mind is not used to that you know? sometimes, I have this crazy thought that maybe I'm meant to learn Italian for some reason. I love Italy, it was so beautiful when I went there, and I'm even thinking about going to teach English in Italy after I finish graduate school. if I can, Italy is kinda competitive when it comes to Teaching English jobs, but there are lots of programs outhere, and who knows? if not Italy then somewhere in Western Europe. who knows? maybe I'll decide to go back to China. with a Master's in English, I would quality as an expert and get a higher salary. but for now, Italy after graduate school or doctorate after graduate school is the plan. I do hope I get past this "Italian is too easy" feeling. is it cheating? am I really learning this language?its so close to spanish, that it feels like it doesn't really count for me.
