	I'm caught in a bit of a dilemma. I've recently dived into 2 languages, which are German and Mandarin Chinese. However, I'm not sure if learning 2 languages will hinder my performance in each one. Anyone with experience of learning multiple languages simultaneously? I love both languages so if I do end up just learning 1, I don't which I'd choose. :/ 1 person has voted this message useful

	I'd recommend starting one (probably German) and then moving on to two after a few weeks. I've actually found that learning multiple languages at the same time helps me refresh my mind and I tend to be more motivated to work harder because I realize that my time is more limited. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Alright. That seems like a good course of action for this. Thanks for the insight! :) 1 person has voted this message useful
