So if you already have a demanding job, a family, and you can only invest 30 minutes a day in your learning, it is certainly not a good idea to divide these 30 minutes in two to learn two languages, because if you do that, you will reach your goals much later, you will have the opposite effect of the desired effect. You will not save time, you will lose it, because you will not benefit from the momentum that we can have, you will not benefit from the cumulative interests.
We made a video on the cumulative effect, which explains to you that it is all your small daily improvements that ultimately create a big improvement. So, it is a kind of momentum that allows you to accumulate or accumulate your daily improvements to, in the end, accumulate, compose and ensure that you have a big improvement after a few months. If you have two languages in a short study time like 30 minutes a day for example, well this momentum, this cumulative effect, you will not have it. The time that you are able to invest, that will be a big criterion to know to learn two languages at the same time.
The question that is super important to ask yourself is: Why do you want to learn these languages? What is your vision? What are your goals? Do you just want to be able to order a meal at germany whatsapp number data a restaurant in one of these languages or do you want to be able to have a discussion with native speakers? If in one of the two languages you want to study, you just need to have an intermediate or rather low level, then you can perhaps study in parallel. If, on the other hand, in both languages, your ambition is to speak it at a high level, to be able to have a discussion, then it may not be a good idea to combine the two.
So, take the time to ask yourself the question: "What is my goal?" If it's just a whim, a one-off desire like that, wait and tell yourself: "OK. I'm going to focus on French and the second language, I'll study it later."
Often, success can be defined not by the things we do but by the things we decide not to do. As you can see and as I said in the introduction, learning two languages at the same time is entirely possible, it is entirely achievable, many have done it, especially the great polyglots. I often talk about Steve Kaufmann whom I interviewed for the channel. He has repeatedly learned two languages at the same time, so it is possible.
There is no single answer to whether you should do it or not. It clearly depends on your personal situation, it will depend on your goals, it will depend on the languages you already speak, it will depend on the languages you want to study at the same time, but the biggest criterion for me is: How much time can you devote to your language learning on a daily basis? That's the key. If you have 3 hours a day to invest in your learning, then, possibly, you can build a program to study two languages at the same time. If you only have 30 minutes a day, I would tend to advise you against it.
