will learning 2 languages at the same time work out very well or will it be a little harder?

Question

im tryin to learn russian and i know english and spanish but at school i gotta learn a foreign language and they dont teach russian

Answer 1

THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM AS long as the 2 languages have sentence structures.

Answer 2

Learning Russian or Spanish will not help much in learning the other -- they are too different. But if you were studying Spanish and Italian at the same time, that would probably work.

Answer 3

If you really want to get a language down you should first get a good hold on one of them and then start another. Your brain is going to select little parts in which it will save for each language. I am talking about been really fluent, when you start thinking in another language. Then you will sitch up from one to another automatically. For children that is easy, easy, easy, but not for teens and it gets worst. If you start to learn two languages at the same time, specially if they are similar, vocab is going to get mixed up and you are going to take longer to become fluent.

Now, if you are just searching to read and make simple phrases or understand simple conversation in another language, i see no problem with learning more then one language at the same time.

In my opnion the most efficient way to learn is to get a good hold on grammar, listen to a lot of material in the language you are learning, then writing and them speaking. And then you go for the next language. If it is a similar language you are going to learn it ever faster.

As for russian, I dont think any of the languages they´ll offer in school will help you.

Answer 4

Learning Russian & Spanish is very good thing.
they are not simiral so u won't have problems with thinking whitch word was from whitch language.
also with russian u get understandable of all other Slav languages like Macedonian, Polish, Serbian, .....
& with Spanish all of "Italic" (Latin) group of languages like Portugal, Brasilian,...
with Russian you can speak from Warsaw till Kamchatka, from North Pole till Solun (thessalonika), & with Spanish all Mediterenian + South America Middle America & 25% of population of North America.
With the fact that u allready know English u'll understand 60 % off
world languages.

Answer 5

im doing the same thing you are doing... im learning french at school but im self teaching myself finnish also. its a bit hard cuz u have 2 continously use both languages because studying one more than the other will not help in learning both languages. but thats pretty much the only problem... just not focusing on both at the same time. i find it more difficult mixing words up between languages that are more closely related... such as between english, spanish and french. since i speak all of those languages as well...and they are a bit more related to each other, its easy to mix up words sumtimes. but since finnish isnt that close to french, its not common that i will get them mixed up. just as you with russian and the other language u study.... i doubt you will get confused between the two. good luck with your language courses!!!!

Answer 6

I think it makes it easier to learn the languages if you learn them at the same time. I studied Japanese and Spanish at the same time, and it really helped me understand the grammar, because i had to analyze it from different angles.
Sometimes I used to confuse vocab words, only when in conversation, never on a test or anything written.

Answer 7

I have studied Spanish and Russian at the same time before; they are far enough apart in their relationship to make it okay; you don't get them mixed into each other like you would with Spanish and French.

Answer 8

I think you'd better learn 1 language at 1 time.
But if you are very interested in languages ,you can try 2 (2 simila such as "chinese and japanese" or "english and german")

Answer 9

Harder. The grammar gets mixed.

Answer 10

I may confuse and you may mix up words of different laguages.
