o.O I guess I'm weird then..cause I have trouble learning ONE language lol. I could never learn more than one at the same time, it'd be really confusing and stressful >.>

I'd like to meet someone who could become fluent in both (or more) languages if they're learning more than one at a time. (Unless of course they were raised in a bilingual/trilingual household) It's ok if you want to be a beginner at all of them but to actually be able to say "I speak *language*" you're going to have to be dedicated to one of them at a time.

That's not so hard to understand I don't think it counts as a language though. Probably more a dialect >.>

I have learned english and Polish at the same time. The key point to learn more than one language is to actively use them. Since I work in travel bussiness and live near polish borders, there was no problem. But you have to use them. Not just study the grammar and try to learn the vocabulary.

That's different though. You used them on a semi-daily basis. I'm talking about if you just randomly decide to learn a language that you can't possibly use on a regular basis. I'd love to learn Italian and German but I'm never going to use them unless I visited the country or met people online who spoke that language. There's no possible way I'd be able to become fluent learning both at the same time.

ETA: On another note (because I don't want to make another post) I can bet you the majority of the people here who are saying they can speak 3+ languages are not fluent but words and phrases here and there. Being able to say "thank you", "good morning", "hello", "cute" and such does not mean you could count that as a language you speak.
