D. was in 2 languages in middle school, had no problem, completed first HS Spanish while in middle school.

In regard to the languages on your D’s list, Spanish is very easy even as foreign language (non-native), Russian is very difficult even for native speakers. Altogether, my D. has 4 languages, although she is not fluent in any. She has placed into highest possible level at college for Spanish, at 3rd level, had an easy “A”. She took only one class to meet college graduation requirements. She is not into languages at all, and as I mentioned Spanish is a foreign language for her. She is pre-med who had academic interests outside of science, but she does not care about languages. In fact she never mention that she is capable to communicate in 4 (although not fluently). Some people just have easier way with languages, your D. is probably the same.
