A couple years ago, there was a blog from someone that decided to try to study a different language every week. It's located here. He had planned out a minimal lesson plan and minimal grammar and vocabulary sets to learn, but I don't think he actually followed them for every language - I mean, how could you? Especially with some of the languages on his list.
Anyway, he lasted for 43 languages before either giving up or losing interest. I thought the idea was an interesting one, but I would have preferred to read a bit more about what and how exactly he had learned, but the blog itself was interesting enough.

Update; So far today:
- Chinese Pimsleur Lesson 1 - 3 times - can still not say anything else but "ni hao" which I knew already (1. 5 hours). I cannot see how I am ever going to be able to speak any Mandarin at all. - Univerb: Read the grammar (which is of all of 8 pages and so bad it is not even funny) (25 min) - "The first 100 Chinese characters": Tuttle: Repeated the first four characters from which is so easy it actually is fun - and this time I read the different meanings as well. I really like that the words for months consist of the characters for moon and the number of the month (4 + moon= April - 5 + moon = May) and the days consists of two signs which mean day plus the corresponding number. Cool! (20 minutes) - Lee Cooper: Chinese language for beginners - the first 10 pages. Not as much as it sounds, as there are big drawings and just a few characters, but it made learning them fun. Does anyone know if there are more books like that? (30 minutes). - 30 minutes Mandarin Talkmore So a fairly active day - hope I can match it the next couple of days!

I may try the 3.5 day abridged version before I start my Russian 6WC on May 1st. I just have to find resources!

I'd cash mine in for Catalan. I probably won't get to use it for months yet, though. Not until I'm comfortable
enough in French to take a break from full-time study. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Great idea! I've already been dabbling with Hindi for a few days so I'll just continue with that until 1 May. Maybe I can learn to write using the Devanagari script by then.

I'll do it the week of May 13th.
I think I'll try Swedish, because I haven't tried studying it much yet, I have a TYS, and I know some free resources for Swedish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My Wanderlust Voucher arrived in the mail today! I am planning on cashing it in May
1st through 7th inclusive. Language: Toki Pona, a conlang involving only 14 phonemes and 123 words (and as the creator is a Canadian, I expect half of those words may relate to hockey). 3 persons have voted this message useful |
