would taking 2 languages at the same time be too difficult? has anyone here done that before?

Answer 1

In high school and college, I studied both Russian and German at the same time. While I would occasionally think in "EnGeRush" (English/German/Russian), I didn't have any other difficulties in studying two languages.

Answer 2

Taking two languages at the same time was difficult for me especially when I took two with contradictory pronunciations. I took German and French, the first was guttural but pronouncing every word as spelled, while the second omits some letter/s as you pronounce the words. It became hilarious when I had to answer French words when asked in German, while correct in its sense, it was in the wrong language. I gave up German since I was still in my basics then, and I was already in a little more advanced course in French. And it was really a stretch that time, since the Goethe Institut in Manila was far from my place. Alliance Française de Manille was nearer.

I think though that if it were the young kids who would try learning new languages, they won't have any difficulty regardless of pronunciation.

Answer 3

I have taken two languages at the same time. I wasn't very difficult for me. Some people, like Richard Gere in American Gigolo, have a natural gift. It's called "speaking in tongues". There are many other gifts to explore, so if the languages are difficult, try something else!

Best wishes in reaching your educational goals!

Answer 4

I am currently learning Spanish at my high school, French at a community college nearby, Czech because my gf speaks it and I am always learning new things in English. Therefore, I am learning 4, really only 3 though, haha, languages at a time and I am doing just fine! Go for it! Good luck! ;)

Answer 5

Take languages one at a time, taking two at a time will cause confusion with words and grammar.
