Has anyone here ever tried learning Esperanto to help in their language studies?

[Ideas]

I've struggled with learning Spanish, and thought Esperanto sounded great. I would love to know Esperanto.

I took a few lessons and Esperanto seems easier, but I feel like my current level of knowledge of Spanish gets in the way because of the similarities. I feel like it would be great for someone who didn't already know part of a language.

I'd still like to know both someday, but I won't have time for a while.
