Studdying more than one Langauge at a time?

[Meera]

Okay so, I searched for this but didn't find any topics so I made one    So my questions for you guys are, How many of you on here study more then one langauge at a time? Wat's your schedual like when you do it? Have you ever been able to learn more then one? Are there any tips you can offer when studdying more then one language at a time?

I study multiple.

I study Chinese at university, I used to study Japanese at university (which I have to try and keep up), I study Swedish and Estonian by myself. I find it helps if you write your notes for a lesser known language (in my case Estonian and Chinese) in languages other than your L1 - in my case, Japanese and Swedish. I believe this helps you learn twice as much

The thing is currently, I write all my Chinese notes in Swedish. I think that is twice as productive as writing them in English. Before too long, I learn to associate the Chinese word with the Swedish one, so avoiding the English step.

I write my Bengali notes in Hindi and my Panjabi notes in Turkish  But sometimes I lean on Hindi too much

Hehe, you can add me there as well! I write pretty much all of my English, Chinese and Finnish notes in English (English isn't my native language, btw), even though I now try to write English notes in Chinese.

I usually do 4 langs at a time at uni and whatever else at home. Not that hard, u just need to be exposed to them all and you'll pick them up.

I try to listen to each of my langs a day too

I've been going back or forth on it, but I've generally been sticking to Russian and German, with a few others generally being studied at least once in the week. I learn them via memorising random things, and grammatical example sentences. For the memorized things, I pretty much just write a little note on any word I don't know, sometimes in english, or if I know a cognate of it in some other lang, say German, then that German word. Then I have example sentances, which I don't translate all the way, I just write out the... diffrent-y thing. So like... I don't have much room for notes to write in other langs, as the only thing not in lang I'll write, is more or less just single words, besides the initial notes I make of a language, which... mostly amounts to charts...

I find I can do multiple fine, it's just a matter of getting myself to actually do them, and not get caught up on one for the whole day. :S

I actually have a notebook I write the translations for four or five languages in, side by side, noting their similarities and differences.  I've also formed this habit of writing all my notes in one of the language.
