I think it would be good for to have a discussion about learning multiple Lanaguges at the same time.
I am learning German, Russian and Japanese. Is there anybody else who is learning Multiple Languages?

Welcome to the forums, Shemtov. I'm not doing multiple languages, but there are quite a number of other threads from people who are, or who are/were considering it. You may like to browse through some for inspiration, ideas, and advice.
A quick tip: The forum offers three "search" options: searching by tag, Google search, and "text search". The main "search" link's at the top of your screen.
Best wishes in your studies - it sounds like an interesting combination of languages!

Absolutely. You're only limited by how much time you have and how motivated you are.

I find that I am only limited on the time I can spend on the language actually. I'm doing three languages right now
and I am having no problems getting them confused at all.
If you think you can do it, then go for it! If you really want to do it you'll find a way.

Yeah I'm learning two languages. Japanese and Finnish. Even though my work situation is crazy crazy busy, I still manage to be pretty consistent with Japanese, I get in work on Finnish when I can -- mostly driving or walking, or in the morning reading some Finnish with my iPad. I don't know about other people but at two, I am utterly maxed out. I think it would be better to only study one, but I just have two that I have a strong attachment to, and I can't change that.
I don't think I've ever confused Japanese with Finnish. On occasion when I'm trying to recall Finnish my high school German comes bubbling back up to my brain.

I'm pretty sure that's the norm here...
