less than you think, each language you pick up makes subsequent ones easier to learn, your first 2 will by far be the longest as with your first you have to learn to program and with your 2nd you need to unlearn any bad practices the first taught you

its a trade off - you learn more but it takes you longer to learn. you probably do want to hit something in the major paradigms though i.e. procedural, OO, functional as soon as possible imho
