Is learning six languages really pushing it? - I'm learning Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin.

[Alex Hogendorp]

I'm approaching intermediate levels in Spanish and thought it would be a great idea to enter language learning.
I wanted to learn Spanish because I spent a lot of time in Spanish speaking countries.
I wanted to learn French because I am Canadian.
I wanted to learn Russian to know Slavic culture more.
I wanted to learn Japanese because I am a weeb.
I wanted to learn Korean because I am very interested in it's culture and I wanted to companion language similar to Japanese.
I wanted to learn Mandarin for the same reason as Korean. (And to boost up my social credit score).

You should probably learn that African clicking language too.

As long as you don't get frustrated and give up all at once I think you have a very neat hobby

The only language anyone really needs to know is Pig Latin.

Do one at a time. You'll start confusing gramatical rules and words if you mix and match which ones you're doing at any given moment (And the more languages you learn, the more this will happen in general). If you have an extremely strong grasp but don't have fluency you'll be okay to pick up another unless you want to go for fluency.

Spanish, french, russian, japanese, korean, mandarin

Those are the most normie languages to learn. You are boring, OP

Instead you should learn:
- Arbëreshë
- Syriac
- Dungan
- Kagwahiva
- Yenisei
- Tlingit

My understanding of language learning is input matters a lot and you kind of want to smother yourself in the language, so even when you aren't doing direct language learning like learning vocabulary, common words, practicing pronunciation, then you are still listening to it in the background.

So it would probably be faster to do one at a time. Only adding another language after you reach at least 60% fluency level of the first one.

Learn Serbo-Croatian instead of Russian, then you can claim to know Serbian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Bosnian! Trust me, they are 100% different...

Depends on the languages. You could pick up Romance languages at the same time as long as you can keep the vocab straight. The grammar is really similar (aside from whatever voodoo Brazil is doing.)

Learning Japanese and Mandarin at the same time is straight suicide though.
