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.

science in German.

My plan is to start tomorrow (03.01.2015) and finish after 90 days (04.04.2015r).

So what's the content of my plan?
I want to finish as soon as I can Michel Thomas all products about German. I have now
about 4 days off so I am going to work all my spare time.

•     Listen and read podcasts every day for 30 minutes(probably lingq)
•     1 essay about my interesting thing a week.
•     20 mins shadowing daily with German podcasts.
•     Assimil 1 lesson a day, (somedays 2 lessons to finish all assimil book)
•     1 essay about my interesting thing a week.

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.
