Hello everyone!
I speak Polish as native, have 16 years old. My name is Tom.
I can manage with English but rather by input (reading, listening) than output
(speaking, writing).
I want to learn fluently German in 2015 because it's useful and pleasant. Also it
would be
funny adventure.
I want to learn fluently Japanese in 2015 because of watching anime.
I want to learn fluently Spanish in 2015 because of traveling and cool beaches.
I want to learn fluently Portuguese in 2016 because of beauty of the language and
adventures
in Brazil.
I want to learn fluently French in 2016 because I like the idea to travel to France.
I want to stimulate my brain.
I want to experience more fascinating things
I enjoy speaking, thinking and reading in different language
I want to live abroad for every language that I know (at least 2 years)
It’s really respectful to be polyglot
It would be really useful to administrate my company in the future
I really want to have wife from different country
It’s really good thing to read books in original
I love dreaming in different languages
I love learning languages and I often fall in love during listening recording of
speaking foreigners. I also think that it's really useful and admirable. At the moment
I don't have good method for learning but I keep looking.
I love that idea to have this abilities. Really.

Hi @owverysweet,
welcome in this forum.
You're very young and you have nice ideas. I have more than the double of your age and I started this journey last
year. We can probably talk years about everything is around learning a language. However, those are my two
advices for you:
- every day, stop studying when you still want to study (and not when you're bored with it)
- don't rush, but be constant.
well, a third:
- come to the forum only after you studied (be sure that you study the language and not only read about how to
learn a language)
ok, a fourth:
- don't make confusion between studying a language and using a language. Better not to exaggerate with the first
one while you can be more generous with the second one (that requires you to have already good skills).
Good luck!

I guess I don't really know what you mean by fluently, but there is no way that you'll learn all these languages fluently in a year. I hope you don't get discouraged when you find out how much time is required to really master different languages. Still I wish you lots of luck.
