I have no rules for maintaining my languages. The key is to learn the language through lots of input and then you tend not to lose them. I occasionally refresh them by reading or listening to an audio book.

I tend to focus on one at a time, or at least 80% on one and 20% on another language where I am already fairly advanced.

The German polyglot Emil Krebs studied a different language every day of the week and alternated. It works pretty well if you want to balance a lot of languages.

Most of my learning time is just listening while driving or doing other tasks, or reading. All in I think I am at 1 to 1 and a half hours a day. More than half of that is casual listening.

If both Languages are very different is easy learn one, three or whatever you want more. In my case I am a Spanish native speaker my first foreign language of course was English, then I started with this idea of learning two languages at the same time and I did it, I actually doing it right now with Italian and Japanese both completely different languages. Italian for me is a lot easy improving much more faster because it's too similar to my mother tongue and Japanese has a totally different writing system, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatically, etc. The key after all of course is motivation and pasion for that new language.

I'm so interested in this novelty brain boosting memory thing, what you said about one week in Russian, really impacted me...it's like, the more you have fun and shuffle it, the better, faster the brain learns, as aside of just one language and then go for another after fluency. You just sparked a passion on me to learn several languages at the same time. It's like going to school; learn math, science, history and then come back the next day for more novelty on the same subject. It ain't just math for one year and then just history for the next grade.

This makes sense. My brain loves novelty. At school we used to learn two foreign languages anyway.

Quite interesting. I'm currently learning both French and Danish concurrently and I really like being able to switch between the two of them.

Steve, good luck in Toronto! Good the hear the television is discovering the community on KZread here.

Sure. It would be great to interview him. His perspective, and his experience, would be of great interest to others. I have had an exchange with him but not in the form of an online interview.

Hello Steve, about the point on doing what you enjoy... recently I've done some intensive study in my target language in reading and writing and I really feel the progression in an overall sense, however the best part to languages is speaking, which I enjoy the most, and listening. When I try to study with listening(more) and reading(less), I feel my progress is slower. Of course, my target is to try and get as fluent as a foreigner can be. Great video again!

Yeah I don't want to be too dogmatic, but just speaking won't get you there, unless you do a lot of it. You have to listen and read, but if you get in a lot of speaking you will get in the listening. You also are best advised to read, and occasionally to review the grammar.

Okay, thanks. Yes, I would be interested!

Interesting. Novelty is known to lead to neuroplasticity, and that tends to spread beyond the 'novel' domain. I.e., the growth is benefited in all sorts of areas. It probably says that in that book. I like how you're separating out the skills, reading in one, speaking in the other. Seems a cool idea!

great obvservations! I think it's universal though, not just being a staple for learning languages. building patterns is great but breaking those patterns and reestablishing new patterns will make any skill push further and stronger than if you had spent even more time pushing through in a more static fashion.

OK, thank you for the clarification.

Thanks! I just did! Looks good, too.

Thanks, appreciate it and best of luck.

This is encouraging. As I'm alternating between Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

very interesting video, thanks for sharing! I also find that novelty sparks a temporary increase in performance and retention in my target language. Personally, I end up having a month of high motivation for one language (Chinese) and then about a half a month of decreasing productivity and motivation followed by the same pattern for Japanese. I know this might not be ideal, but do you think this cyclical waxing and waning of motivation will hinder long term success? Thanks again from Toronto!

In my opinion and experience it is possible but the two languages need to be really very different. That is, no way to learn portuguese and spanish at the same time, but it is a lot easier to learn russian and mandarin at the same time. This works for me, but may not work for other people.

From my experience, learning two languages at the same time is feasible provided that one has enough spare time available per week. In fact, I'm studying Russian and Czech in parallel in order not to overwrite one language with the other. I try to alternate on a daily basis: something like studying Russian on 3 days per week and Czech on another 2-3 days. I also try to listen to news in Russian (on RFI) and Czech (on Radio Praha) every day.

Interesting, I was born in Poland and I started learning English since I was 10yo at school, some German but didn't fall in love with the language, I started learning. French just for fun and few years later I came to England. Living here for few years I took on learning French but in English and I am not only able to learn French faster because for English speaking people is easier but I improve my English a lot. Its a new way for me to expand my vocabulary in English where before I git bored with learning new words. I would recommend learning Czech in Russian, there have more in common its hard but I have more joy of learn g this way for example Iam planing on learning Russian in the future and I'll use my Polish to do it. I don't know why you didn't try This method, maybe there are some reasons.. Would love to know what a person with your expirience is thinking on the subject(:

Hello Steve! There is a question I have been wanting to ask you and that many language learners probably ask themselves once they achieve a satisfying level of fluency in a foreign language and start picking up another language from scratch: How much time should be spent everyday on "mastered" languages in order to maintain a very good level in that languages while starting another language from scratch? How do you manage to maintain a fluent level in more than 8 languages?

hey Steve, so basically I come from Zimbabwe and at my school we learn French,Greek, Shona,Latin and English although are required to drop Greek shona and latin next year as we start to do our IGCSE syllabis at the start of january 2019.Anyway aside from these I also learn chinese and can speak and read it better than all the other languages except for english. so I wanted to take up an extra french thing so aside from doing 40mins from monday to friday ill do from 9;30-12:00 on sat and 11:00-12:00 wheres i only do mandarin from 9:00-10:00 weekly. So do you think that this extra french will effect my chinese although i am young (13) so aren't kids suppose to learn languages easily. And will it help that my chinese is really good at language cuz he's a polyglot his name is Christopher English, works for the UN maybee youve heard of him? anyway so just wanted your opinion

Hi, I am learning learning chinese for two month and I have a grasp how this language works. but I also want to refresh my french and spanish. is it a good method, according to your opinion, when I alternate between these languages every week? for example the first week I focus on chinese, the second week on french, the third week on spanish, the fourth week on chinese again and so on?

No I think motivation is all important. Do whatever you are motivated to do.

I know it is an old video but yes you can. 1) I am a Czech and I am still improving my mother tongue (though not that much since I rarely come in contact with challenging content) 2) I learn English all the time from the exposure to it and because I google for anything in English and check English wikipedia first. 3) I am currently learning French, trying to read for about an hour a day. It is slow progress but I am not in a hurry. 4) And from time to time I learn a word in another language. So, I think learning three to four languages is fairly easy if you get enough exposure. In some regions in the world most people is quadrilingual actually because they get exposed to those different languages all the time and they get English on top. Two languages is almost nothing compared to that. Though people usually mean three languages by two, hardly anyone gives up on English or their mother tongue (though I am sure it would greatly boost their progress in other languages).

I'm learning 3 languages at the same time now: Spanish, English and Chinese. I use Pimsleur for Spanish (wonderful method); effortless english for English; and some chinese textbooks & pimsleur for Chinese. The first thing I do when I wake up is listen to each language audio for each language. I spent around 30 minutes for each. I hope after 3 months I can be quite good, not very fluent at 3. I'm planning to learn Korean next year.

I have a question. I want to learn Russian, but I have to take a French class for my two years of a foreign language to apply for college. Should I focus on the French or Russian?

Hi. To me, taking up a language is related to my perpetual effort to ever improve my competence in English. Hence, my pursuit is to combine learning a new language and improving English (I'm not a native English speaking person; my native language is Hellenic; Greek if you prefer, though I'd rather you did not). For example, a primary resolution of mine for year 2017 is to seriously take up at least one new language. I've chosen Swedish. All sources I shall be using will be mostly Swedish, BUT, when it comes to translations, looking up words, meanings, nuances, elaborate, definitions (...you name it...), I will be using English as a counterpart language... I have adopted this method ever since for ever and it works out fine.

Do you have any recommendations for learning Russian and Ukrainian at the same time? I started off learning Russian using Pimsleur (my go-to for jumpstarting language learning in a new language), then following a few weeks later introducing Ukrainian on Pimsleur, as well. I feel very drawn to learning both languages, but I realize they are very similar in many ways. I have been learning to read Ukrainian on DuoLingo and that has been helpful to read Russian, as well, although it is a bit different. I also learned a tiny bit of Polish through Pimsleur about 17 years ago and the similarities between these Slavic languages really intrigued me. I am not learning Polish now, but I may go back to it in the future. Back in college (about 30 years ago), I tried to learn Italian along with Spanish, but it was too similar. Now, my Spanish is more cemented, so I listened to a few lessons of Italian on Pimsleur as well. I can read a little Italian, as well. I know I should probably concentrate on either Russian or Ukrainian, but I don't want to leave either behind. I like your idea of concentrating on speaking more in one language and just reading/listening in the other. I just don't want to confuse myself...too much.

Been learning Danish and Norwegian at the same time. The advantage is that 80% of their vocab is the same , where they differ it is very slight except when it comes to pronunciation and the sounds of the language. That is proving harder to separate in my mind and not sure if it wise to continue doing both or picking one for now?

I didn't really find in this video an answer to the question in the video title: "Is it effective to learn two languages at the same time?" The video should aim to stay on that topic and not branch off in numerous tangents about methods of learning, experiences, etc.

Just do what you like doing and keep exploring and finding resources to help you. There are lots.

I have a funny and maybe even a weird situation regarding the language learning. Some time ago I started studying Italian and Spanish at the same time and somehow even if I heard from many people and read from various sources that similar languages the ones that come from from the same language family are very easy to mix. However, that issue of mixing somehow did not occur to me. After some time due to certain personal reasons, I have put a temporary stop on my Italian learning journey. These days im again in the two languages at once paradox =), but now instead of Italian im learning Hungarian and to my surprise the moments where I mix Spanish and Hungarian are quite often. Is there are a explanation for this or is just my mind playing some trick on me? I'm not a native English speaker so that is the reasonable explanation for some writing or sentence bulidng mistakes if they were made. Thank you

As a Spanish speaker who wet his toe in German, I'd day you can do it. They sound different, have different vocabulary, very different grammar, very different cultural associations... Unless you are starting both at the same time, I think it would be difficult to mix them up. Btw, depending on your German proficiency, you might study Spanish in German. It works well for some people, but it requires being comfortable with the base language.

Succession/stacking of routines or triggers or anchors... case tables are just a bit more brain accessible if in a succession/table as opposed to store it just under the name - Lokative oder Akkuzative etc.. labels. Btw the numbers in German are same and if you ask old Germans about the falls, some recall them in the 1234= N G D A succession. Succession matters to recall the grammar. To use cases fluently one applies the subconscious knowledge based on the familiar chunks.

Where do you find your tutors? Isn't this a great expense? I had the luxury of a German pen pal, while learning German. We are great friends to this day. This was back in High School. It seems, with the advent of facebook, its more difficult to find people with whom to have a voice chat. Any pointers you could offer would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

thanks I've joined the service.

You are still young. Work on your French for now, and really commit to it. It will help you when you finally have the time to devote yourself to Russian. You have lots of time.

What about speaking three different languages at the same time in a sentence? I'm asking because i just started writing songs in Spanish, Italian and French combining them and translating it in English after in the song. This is more of an artistic approach i'm taking towards my music because i like how they sound in singing and want to sing them all together at the same time. I'm not sure if there are people who do this to the point of creating some kind of system that combines similar languages together like the three i talked about and would like to know where i could find more information about it since i couldn't find any. I don't have a perfect system for doing this myself and would like to improve combining them easier.

So can I learn Russian and Finnish at the same time?

Ruben Winters my goodness! Sixteen cases!!! 😱😱😱😧😓 Plus six cases, all at the same time??? 😃 Good luck.

This video is mislabeled, What you are really doing is reviewing and refreshing instead of learning from scratch.

Do you also speak / learn polish?

+Ugo Ekwegh No doubt but I would focus on one language of the time as a matter of personal preference.

+Steve Kaufmann - lingosteve Thank you. So it's possible. Anyway, one of my major goals this year is to be fluent in both French and German because English is my native language. How realistic is that goal too?

+Ugo Ekwegh Remember. Language isn't just data that goes into your head. It is a life skill, there is no rush to get everything in.

+Ugo Ekwegh Starting from scratch I would say becoming fluent in two languages within a year seems pretty unlikely especially if you are new to language learning. I don't want to discourage you, but it is a process and I don't want you to get disappointed. Don't put any timetables on yourself and don't get discouraged if you hit speed bumps. There is no formula for how long any language will take any given person. However, if Spanish is your first language and you also know English you will be able to learn french pretty fast! I think you can definitely get to a very high speaking level of french within a year if you put your mind to it!
