@@tolgag2901 I'm a 52 year old Indonesian. I understand 6 foreign languages : English, German, French, Arabic, Russian, and Mandarin with different levels of abilities. I speak German pretty well, and been to Munich to learn German. It was long time ago that I reached B2 level, nearly C1. But it seems that my German deteriorates. I also learned French and Russian, but I don't speak those languages very well like my German, and of course, my fluent English. Now I'm learning Mandarin, and I believe my Mandarin reached A2 or B1 level, because I got Hsk-3 in October 2019. The problem is maintaining the ability. Once you get the B level, you start to be fed up with the language you have learned, unless you have a very high motivation and specific purpose to learn the language. And after that the next question is whether you can maintain the level that has been attained. I reached B2 or even almost C1 in German long time ago, but now it seems that I can only answer relatively correct the B1 level. My German deteriorates. Language is a matter of habits and habitation....

conclusion : if you are beginner in one of two languages, it's better to dedicate your learning only for the one you have just started, because it will need more efforts, unless you have too much time (e.g: 4 hours) for learning languages per day. if you are intermediate or more at both languages, you can study them at the same time without problem

I would advice you to learn two vey different languages (spanish and maybe russian? french and chinese? i dont know, you can do whatever combination you'd like to). Doing this, chances of mix the languages are lower. I tried to learn Italian and French at the same time and it didn't ended well hahaha. So I focused on French (I didn't want to study two languages at the same). But yeah, just an advice 🥰 If you're good the way you are, awesome! Good Luck on your language learning.

I have a B1 level in English , and currently learning German. Now I'm in A2 level. I'm willing to reach advanced level in English and on the same time a minimum B2 level in German. That's not really evident, but in the same time not very hard. When learning new words in german I always translate them to English so that I can learn the word also in English if I didn't know it before, and that's actually cool

I'm Brazilian and I started to learn English two years ago. Recently, I've taken a test and I found out my English level is B1+, which is quite thrilling for me since I study almost every single day. It's like a reward that I've been expecting for a long time. So, with that in mind, I decided to begin French, and I should confess the grammar as far as I can tell it's been a challenge for me, but I feel more able to try it out and make my dream of being a polyglot true. Peace out, thank you for your video.

As far as I've heard from Finns, the most of you do it just like the most other people in Europe: You learn English as the main foreign language at school, an then an other language (with the difference that Swedish is mandatory in Finland), maybe two. And then you forget everything except English, cos you don't use it. Anyway, IMO one can't really learn a language at school. You can get some basics, but it needs inner motivation and work at one's own to really learn a language.

The Dutch system is similar and varies a bit per level, level I went to we had: Ancient Greek, Latin, English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish was optional and we had a dedicated general grammar class in year one. It created benefits of applying connections between languages but it never taught me the language because there just wasn't enough time or need to practice. Even class-mates that didn't actively used English in their daily lives now barely, if at all, speak it. Lower levels are even worse. Doesn't mean I think it was bad / wasted time, it's just highschool vs proper motivation to learn something.

Just recently turned 21, took Spanish for about 7 yrs in school. After graduation I stopped using it as frequently and definitely lost some of the grammar structure but I can mostly understand the language! I picked up French since it’s so closely related about a yr and a half ago and just a few months ago I started learning Russian to challenge my understanding of language outside of the Latin alphabet. I plan on working on all the languages I study but hope to add more. It is a little bit of a slower process but my brain doesn’t allow me to fixate on one easily, and I find my brain actually learns both languages better while I’m learning multiple at once (with consistency)

I moved to Menorca recently and I’m living with a Catalan family. My Spanish is at a intermediate to high intermediate level and I’ve just started to learn some Catalan. I have lots of time to study and I’m constantly surrounded by both languages. I had doubts about doing both but this has really helped my decision thank you.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I absolutely agree. I've been learning English and my level is between intermediate/upper intermediate. I have started studying Deutsch very recently. I can say this is super fun to learn 2 languages concurrently but as you said one of them should be intermediate or higher. If u just started learning new language there are so many information such as new words, rules, listening etc. So I focus only on Deutsch now. I translate new words from Deutsch to English(my intermediate language)(you learn new words in German and keep your mind on English). My time for studying focused only on German now. When I'm tired or want a break I just watch KZread and movies in English or I can read a book in English(I love reading Stephen King). Most important thing is you have to love learning language if won't work if you don't.

OMG! I'm also learning German (beginner) and Mandarin (intermediate). Thanks for your video!!

Great video and information! I very much liked the fact that you are very very realistic, when talking about people not having so much time in a normal life, I mean if you have kids and you have your job which requires to be done and so on. I really don’t have much time to learn languages and I am dealing with Japanese right now. I would like to take up a new challenge and learn a new language but I think I have to wait until my level of Japanese is a bit higher. I also think you are amazingly talented, which might not be the case for every one of us, so I encourage you to keep learning and providing us with useful and nice information, it’s always a pleasure to see you ☺️😍👏

I always wanted to get to C1 in Romanian before moving on to Italian… I’m currently between a B1 and B2, and completely understand where you’re coming from with regards to the accessibility of materials once you hit that intermediate level (my poison is books) So my wife and I have just jumped into Italian Language Transfer together, and I’m continuing with my Romanian via graded readers and native materials - and just enjoying the journey to fluency :)

The weird thing is that I've been studying Spanish for around 6-7 months and I'm starting to feel that my Spanish will become better than my Swedish in a couple of months. I should start immersing myself more in Swedish tho as I will (hopefully) be an exchange student in Sweden in a year.

Interesting video. The reason that I looked this video up is that I've reached B2 / C1 in my target language after 4 years, and I'm going to try learning a third language in the second half of this year, while still continuing to work on my second language. I want to dedicate an hour a day to the third language - that's going to be easier said, than done!

I've been learning English for 5 years, I still have a lot to improve but for this year I really want to start learning Italian but I want to make sure that I will keep learning English and improving because I want to reach a high level.

I’m learning French and ASL. however, I’m leaning more towards French.

I've started Japanese and Korean together this year. I'm only a baby beginner but I've found it really helpful so far; there seem to be enough similarities for them to be language buddies in your brain. Sometimes knowing vocab or a structure in one gives you a bit of a shortcut when it turns out to be similar in the other. Having said that, I've only ever learned languages in similar pairs (French and Spanish, then Latin and ancient Greek) so I don't really know what it's like to concentrate on one. I think I might lose motivation. At least if you're doing two, when you get stuck and disheartened you can switch to the other for a bit rather than just stopping and getting out of the habit. I'm definitely progressing much much slower than others though :) Good luck with the Korean! 파이팅

I agree. Learning two languages at once is fine, but it is better to bring one of the languages to a more advance level before incorporating the 2nd. I tried learning two languages simultaneously thinking that I would keep up with them at the same level and that it might be easier to do b/c they were part of the romance languages and similar. But instead it tricky and causing more frustration. So when I focused only on a primary language for about a month, going back to the secondary language actually was a little easier to study with some grammar concepts already in mind.

I recently started French and Hawaiian simultaneously, and no regrets there.

Intermediate Spanish and beginner French. I thought about adding another language, but now I will hold off until my French becomes stronger. Gracias por el consejo, maestro.

I speak polish and English fluently and I’m currently in a Spanish school to learn Spanish and I am learning Japanese in my own time, I was at first not sure if it was a good idea to try two languages at the same time but since Japanese and Spanish are so different I never get them confused so it is going well so far 👍

Thanks, I'm learning korean and I was thinking start learning japanese as the same time but you're right it'll be difficult to learn these two languages as beginner

I am Dutch and have had English, French, German and Spanish at school. Apart from English, I'm not really fluent in the named other languages anymore but I still understand what it is about. Now, I am learning Korean, Japanese and Tagalog but I use French, Spanish and English books for that. It makes me aware again of the grammar and 'feel' and such of other languages. Amazed to find out how much of it really still sticks in the back of my head after all this time. Love learning new languages. So I read a lot about the history and culture and literature. Listen to music en watch movies in that particular language. In all kinds of languages that are somewhat known to me to be more specific. So Japanese shows with French subtitles for example. That way I keep myself immersed in these particular languages and have fun at the same time.

i’m learning french and spanish at the same time, learning both of them makes it easier for me understand since some words are very similar

I study 6 languages at the same time. German, English, French ( I'm fluent), Spanish, Italian, Norwegian

I've been learning spanish for quite some time now, but a year or so ago when I was quite a bit more towards the beginner-intermediate level I tried to pick up swahili as well. It felt like I was drowning in unfamiliar words and mixing up grammar rules. I put swahili on pause as a result. After a year of casually studying, I'm challenging myself to really focus on studying for 3 months in a row. When new year hits I'll be starting swahili again. Watching this video made me feel so vindicated with my decisions. Even being much newer to languages I had stumbled into the right decision rather than forcing it and burning myself out.

it was of first video of you that I saw, I just wrote learning two language in specific time but I got something useful and I learned. English and Italian these are two foreign language for me that I still studying. i were worried because i Studied English before and now I need to learn Italian and I must focus on Italian, I hope will not lose my English and will succeed to maintain both of them

Great video! I'm currently studying Scottish Gaelic and German daily, however my Gaelic was at a reasonable level before I started German.

7 months later how is it going? 😅

Yes, definitely! For example Mandarin and Cantonese ;)

I've tried for the last 6mos to study Mandarin and Korean simultaneously. I had started learning Mandarin 10yrs ago but had just reached 2nd year when stopping. There are borrowed word similarities that were helpful but grammatically I've struggled since Korean is more akin to German in grammar than Mandarin. I'll keep what you said in mind about reaching intermediate level first before tackling them again in parallel

Actually, in Sweden we start Swedish and native language class (if it isn't Swedish that is) right from first grade, then add English in second grade and just do those until seventh grade where we add another language (mine is Spanish), then in High School I dropped native language (Arabic) and kept up with the other three. I added both Latin and Chinese the second year of high school, but I'd sort of given up on Spanish even though I passed all my classes. Until High school I didn't get to chose when to add/remove a language, so it's really interesting that the Swedish system is set up exactly like you described. I wound up completely fluent and advanced in English and Swedish, my Arabic is at maybe B2, Spanish at A2, Chinese at A1 and Latin at less than A1. Nowadays, I've completely dropped my Spanish and Latin, and pretty much Chinese too, but I have been listening to a LOT of Korean and so have begun naturally acquiring it, and I'm just confused about what I should work on. I don't really have any interest in Spanish, but I've spent six years learning it, it just seems like a pity to forget it all. Chinese, I'm more interested in, but for human rights reasons don't know if I should learn (learning a language involves deep-diving into their media) and it's so bloody hard man. I don't really care about learning Korean, but I do love their media and have involuntarily started so it just kind of feels like I should, I dunno? Now I'm just confused about what to learn, and what to surrender. I also have interests in art etc so I don't think I will spend all my time on learning languages. Anybody who made it to the end of my comment, please give me some advice. What do you think I should do? I've decided on Arabic, because I feel disconnected from my culture. Should I add another one, or should I just do that? Then I'll forget my Spanish and Chinese completely😢😢 which feels like such a waste.

Came to a point where I'm quite capable of communicating in Italian, and now I started learning Swedish, well, and also C# if you can count++ that too.

Right now I'm trying to learn Finnish and Indonesian with beginner level at the same time - and with all the Finnish declensions (the differents noun cases) this is making it harder - ; but I also need to work on Norwegian and Japanese every week too to not atrophy my capacity to use these languages like I sadly did for Spanish (didn't invest enough of myself in the language after school and now, well... I can understand like a big part of what I'm reading but I can barely speak the language with someone :/ ) I don't really need to study like this for english tho (I'm a French native) cause it's the language I'm using everywhere, from the internet to movies to reading to speaking to my friends and penpals This video was interesting and you capted my attention, so you won a new suscriber and a like for this video eheh ^^

Wow are you able to manage all these languages? You cheered me up and gave me motivation, Moi aussi j’suis en train d’apprendre japonais russe et chinois ensemble ( mais je déja connais le japonais à un niveau intermédiaire) mais tout le mond me dis que c’est impossible. Est-Ce que tu étudies les langues à l’uni ?

It's very much to the point. I (from Germany) am doing Russian and English simultaneously at an advanced level which is OK for me. It's good for your brain to switch between the different languages. Doing two or even more languages at the same time is quite time-consuming, I have to admit. You are right - an adult beginner should focus on one language at a time exclusively. I enjoy those days when I realise that I have spoken more English or Russian than my mother tongue. Good luck with your Mandarin and German learning 🍀

😂Lol I learn 4 languages at the same time:English(at school but I’m already two years ahead of my class)French(also at school but I also learn additional content at home since you don’t progress fast at school),Spanish (self-taught B1speaker but I only started 6 months ago) and Chinese (education center) But I guess that I’m only able to manage learning four languages at the same time because I have lots of spare time And sometimes I feel like was neglecting French (my least favorite language)a bit so I can recommend learning three languages at a time 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am 68 years old, and I am using Robins 3 tiered system to study French, Spanish, and German. I manage to squeeze in Polish and the Chinese alphabet. I will admit that my memory is imperfect, however.

This is exactly what I was aiming to do. I just want to learn Japanese & Korean really and mainly so I can consume their media. For now I've decided to focus on the former since that has the lion share of raw media I want to explore rn. Indeed once I reach something akin to an intermediate understanding of Jpn I will move to Korean. Fortunately I've dabble with learning both in the past so neither are completely foreign to me concept wise.

I'm currently learning Korean, Spanish and German.those lauguages are what I'm interested in and I'm considering learning Mandarin Chinese too

In Italy, we learn English (primary school) and another language, french or german then, sometimes also latin already in middle schools (11-14). In high school (14-19) we can choose a specialist school for to learn languages and normally you must to study 4 idioms simultaneously.

Great advice! I'm currently learning 4 languages, 1 beginner, 2 advanced beginner and 1 intermediate.

I’m doing German and French at the same time, but not the same intensity. I’ve been learning German for a longer while and focus more on my time on that, and do reading, grammer and vocab. Where as with French I’m currently only learning basic vocab and phrases, and I really only started a week ago. I will put more effort into French when I am more fluent in German

I study English at uni + I'm working on my Turkish. And I'm a whole newbie in both Japanese and Korean. I don't wanna feel confused and stop learning one of them bcz am really enjoying both of them, it's kinda of tough tho but I will do my best.🙏🏻
