Well, my goal is definitely reaching a high level. If I didn't want that, I wouldn't need that book for Spaniards since I can already understand Italian well. I'm using it to fix my grammar without the boredom of an English or Russian book explaining to me the things I already know, as a language learner and as a linguist. It's about your first goal, not your ultimate goal. I learn like that because I have no interest in speaking from day one. See for example my discussion with Expugnator in your thread about the multitrack approach. Edited by Serpent on 26 March 2014 at 10:53am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Tons of input! Thank you very much!
So, I read many times each of your answers. Just to check if I understood correctly, right now I'm particularly interested to this topic because - I'm A1 in dutch and beginner in German but I'm studying actively German and I was considering if doing or not something with dutch as well - I'm A2 (probably above average A2) in French and Spanish is a goal for the next year, but I was wondering if there is space to start gaining some knowledge since now - similar considerations can be done in future when I will be advanced in French and German, and around intermediate in Spanish and Dutch, and for example I start considering Catalan and Afrikaans (just an example) So seems to be clear from your massive input that I can study actively French and German, while acquiring knowledges on grammar and vocabulary (but without speaking) in Spanish and Dutch, without any hurry of course. I can even read and listen Spanish (thanks to my knowledges of three related languages: Italian (especially), french and a little bit even English. And this without having to fear to mess up with French. But I have to avoid activating the spoken part. Is it correct? Thanks again 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
