I have no interest at all in learning another foreign language.

Guys, can you please help me to decide which new language to study? I would like to study them all!

At least, this is my past and present me if you swap French with English.

Oh damnit, it's looking like it's going to have to be German after all, for various professional reasons. I've tried to do both in parallel, but I find it very difficult to study two languages at once. I tend to focus on one over the other. I'm going to try and keep Czech on a slow burner on the side (I think it will benefit from a slow approach anyway, letting it sink in over time), but it's hard to give it attention when I'm going ahead with German. It seems I have the opposite of wanderlust. Tunnel vision?

But when I do sit down with an Asimil Czech lesson, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling that German cannot offer. I'm not giving up on it. Maybe once I start with massive input with German it'll be easier.

Are you able to understand spoken German without studying it previously?
