My native language is Spanish I learned English to a good level I am learning other languages at the same time My experience is that you can learn several languages at the same time, but; it is best to put up more time on the language that you want to be proficient first

currently learning portuguese and levantine arabic I spend 45 minutes- 1 1/2 on each language every single day I basically do 50/50, I do tend to spend a bit more time on arabic though because it is so difficult
Comment from : @zachflores2728

I don't think it's a problem to learn multiple languages at the same time But it has to be different enough For instance, italian and spanish at the same time is not a great idea :-D It may be different if there is a big difference in level
Comment from : @zhenma8053

I have always wanted to leave my country and but I am undecided about which country to go English is the obvious choice and I have a solid foundation of it but I would rather not living in UK/AU/US because of my own reasons Nonetheless, it is very useful to know English so English is on the list I have attended German lesson and has A1 level so it is easier to work on that too I love Norway and is thinking of living there ( if it is possible ) so I might as well learn Norwegian It probably is less difficult than what Mr Kaufmann did because these languages are all Germanic languages

Thank you so much for your advices that helps me a lot ,especially that im learning tow languages in the same time😊
Comment from : @salomi369

I use my Kangaroo® or Soap Opera® approach to learning several languages in parallel
Comment from : @Zoxuk

Thank you Steve,brI loved this perspective It include both ways' advantages and disadvantages and has no 'solution', you dont tell what to dobrI deal with that problem: i love languages and enjoy study a lot (i get boring studying only one at the same time), but i cant really manage all of them, and the progress is so, so poorbrSo i dont know what to do yet but i like how you put things clearly on the table and also give slower progress as an option too

I'm trying to learn about 5 languages at the same time now as a hobby, it's amazing how you speak so many languages and i want to be like you

I had no idea laochu had died rest in peace
Comment from : @jaybirdvlogs7279

I feel like the complexity of arabic with all the dialects and fusha makes it unfair to compare Because really you were learning 5 languages at the same time rather than 3

Thank you very much
Comment from : @acquirearabicbylistening

I speak Spanish (my tongue mother) and I want to learn more languages Seeing your videos motivated me a learn more and more, therefore, I can speak a little English and I can read french and I want to learn more languages
Comment from : @limonesinigual

I'm doing 5 right now so I'm curious about this question
Comment from : @BenJones1127

Hello When I began my hard English studies (ten months ago) , I wanted to study Spanish too, but I left this idea behind When I to learn English, I will stydy Spanish Thanks Ps: Sorry for my poor write
Comment from : @luizantoniofranciscopinto8484

I would say my main focus is on Turkish; Coptic is a close second I do study Persian and Tamazight too; however, I study Tamazight solely in Turkish, no English involved

How is Shadowing technique going?
Comment from : @donyak7810

i was studying just eng but two years ago I added four languages to my study schedule and I need to say I feel like my improvement goes pretty slow in each language so I'm seeking answer whether I am doing right or wrong
Comment from : @griff424

What's your opinion of not (trying to learn) multiple languages but to do an hour or two of just listening to audio books or pimsleur in multiple languages just to get a feeling for the flow and sound of languages Sort of as a primer to learn it later

Comment from : @sarabr3374

Tons of listening is indeed a good way to learn a language , but I've got a bit abstract question here ,when you are listening to a paragraph ,are you concentrating your focus on every word itself to hear clearly or trying to imagine the illustrations and feelings about it I know it's not a problem for a master speaker ,but I just wanna know which way you tend to be the answer of you guys won't interference me instead it'll be just a reference thank you all by the way ,I'm not a native speaker who is learning English a little shy to ask
Comment from : @jsz5939

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California The pace of study was intense Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes Practical tips for learning foreign languages” The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

Best is to get a language to at least decent ability to consume native content before starting a new one Better if you can language-ladder with your L2/L3 to learn your next language

Love your content Steve, I would listen to you talk about paint dry!

I love your videos, I use them to improve my english, but olso for enjoy me as well
Comment from : @gabrielaymarpiscoyamundo9031

I really think it’s a bad idea to focus on more than language at once
Comment from : @JourneyDestination

How about two dialects of the same language?
Comment from : @stuartjwright1579

Very good video!
Comment from : @DanielFerreira-ep6dq

I found it comes and goes when it comes to simultaneous language learning My main target language is French and sometimes I learn Spanish to maintain motivation, sometimes I have to pause Spanish as it starts to mess up my French
Comment from : @vancityband6577

Very cool I am loving just devoting my time to learning French, but Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are always on my mind It certainly makes life fun to have a goal and a project that doesn't take much (or any) money to progress in
Comment from : @religion_schilling

I study Russian (A1), Spanish (B1), and Italian (C1) everyday Mostly through reading and listening When I have the chance to speak, I speak I plan on studying these languages for the rest of my life, so the slow progress doesn't bother me brbrThe new Lingq reader is awesome!
Comment from : @jacobcoppini6079

4:40 so true! I had to leave French in order to really focus in on German and make progress
Comment from : @markchavez738

An interesting topic Clearly people can study more than one languages and do so at university I studied both German and French at school in the 70s and that was standard My take is that it depends upon your goals I'm retired so I don't have to do it for career purposes However travelling around you meet a lot of different nationalities, and people of my age don't necessarily have the English language skills of younger people So I'm focusing on trying to get my French and German up to a high level but at the same time doing some basic Dutch to assist with travel and to communicate with people I meet on holiday Once I have a basic level of Dutch l will focus on improving my Spanish to a b1/B2 level alongside working on German and French
Comment from : @stepheng9607

I've been learning up to five languages at one time Though they were all completely different to each other
Comment from : @theveganpolyglot9746

Totally agree on the pull towards different languagesit's irresistable! How would you compare the degree of difference or difficulty for an English speaker between Arabic and Korean? Which do think is the more challenging?
Comment from : @Christopher_Stead

you are the best!👍🏻😃big fan
Comment from : @dandancabral100

I spend 90 of my study time on Italian and 10 on French to change it up occasionally
Comment from : @antonk6566

1:54 - Any tips around this? I'm trying to learn Hebrew - my first time learning a language that uses a different writing system And yes, I can name all the letters and know what sounds they make but I'm struggling a lot with training my brain to see the meaning rather than the sounds, if that makes sense? Would love more specific tips/advice around this :)

Thank you so much, MrSteve !!br❤❤You're such a huge inspiration 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻brWishing you good health😇😇
Comment from : @kushagragupta8068

Currently learning 6 languages at a time Spanish, german, russian, Turkish, Greek and Arabic I’m sure I’d make faster progress if I did fewer in one go but I went stir crazy because I wanted to challenge myself!
Comment from : @xavierjp_

Thanks for your thoughts Steve There are two different things at play here: learning multiple languages at once; and language maintenance once you've learnt a language well I speak fluent English and Spanish, but started intensive Italian 2 years ago (25-35 hours a week) and Finnish 2 months ago There is no clash My Italian is B2-C1 I won't lose it, but while I am studying Finnish intensively, I need to continue my Italian, so I do that through italki chats twice a week, a bit of radio and reading novels and Youtube videos In the end, for me, it is a question of devoting a "lot" of time to your studies and having a system that works
Comment from : @wowjef

I need a reason to learn a language Not necessarily a job, but just some compelling reason like wanting to spend time in that culture
Comment from : @zeppelinmexicano

Personally, I can't learn only one language at a time, I'd get bored However, most of my learning is reading and listening to podcasts in languages I am already at an intermediate level at, while I learn the basics usually one language at a time
Comment from : @NaturalLanguageLearning

English, Deutsch, Español and Nihongo Quadlingual 👍
Comment from : @SixFeetofVenison

I'd like to learn english and spanish but, first of all I'm focused on english for 5 months Actually I'm talking to myself on the street as a crazy 😂 it's funniest By the way I'm so proud of myself because isn't easy to learn another language mainly alone Nowadays i can share my emotions at least a little while day by day I few days ago i wrote on the notebook my thoughts totally in english It's cool because back in the time i didn't anything about another language To be honest i have no clue about my dreams perhaps to visit several countries around the world I do like to watch daily vlog on YouTube, i usually spend my time watching a bunch of series in english at home on my day off Make mistakes a lot in this language, but i don't mind, i just wanna practice english every day even though it hard I'll never give up cause i really appreciate it, i intend to talk with people and also could express my feelings, my ideas with a lot of strangers in the world Besides, in the future it can helps me with my job, i would have more opportunities to work Yeah My bad for this text, i need to write Have a nice day everyone!
Comment from : @yuriart6391

Sometimes some Czech words comes to my mouth when I try to speak German brbrI'm Brazilian and when I was 17 I did an exchange program in Czech Republic, I didn't learn the language the way I wanted, I'm still in A2 level But there I studied a bit of German, and kept studying after coming back to Brazil Now there are some Czech expressions and words that suddenly appear in my mind when I try to think in German
Comment from : @davidthegoldsmith4195

Hi, I am Greek I have a decent understanding of the English language at C2 level I already know some basics of German and French and I need to improve them at the same time At least one of them at B2 level Any advice?
Comment from : @basilistsakalos9643

Thanks for this video, I feel much better after hearing that many if not all polyglots feel unsatisfied with their skills We must remember all the people who only speak one In comparison we are so lucky to be able to complain about our meager skills in this, that and the other Thanks Steve

Comment from : @myintnaing

When I retired about 6 months ago, I wanted to re-learn German, which I had learned in high school and university about 40 years ago I also wanted to learn a little French so that I could travel there also I’m loving learning both languages at the same time I’m at very different stages of learning each language, which I think makes it easier If both languages were brand new for me, I think that would be harder
Comment from : @michaelhargrove9076

I definitely see how if I had focused on my main language (French) I'd probably be at an advanced or borderline advanced level right now! It''s why I have prioritized it now With my other two languages, I do my best to maintain and advance in some ways I think if you are eager to attain a certain level, certainly focusing on one language would be ideal, but if you are in no rush and just want to do more than one for the hell of it, that's okay, too!
Comment from : @RubyDuran

Thanks for your honesty Steve!
Comment from : @calvinchristopher9046

Have your main language you want to learn and have a secondary language to dabble in on the side A few hrs a WK on secondary language and the rest of the time on your main language It helps
Comment from : @kineiya

I prefer to have one main language I'm studying and maybe one or two dabbling languages I mainly go to my dabbling languages if I need a break or more novelty I also don't expect any progress in my dabbling languages, so I don't think my dabbling languages slow down my progress in my main language I can see how it would be frustrating to try to make progress at multiple languages at once I also find when I'm really focused on my main language I don't really care about my dabbling languages either I often hear my own mind trying to make sense of my main language and I don't want other languages to interrupt it
