What are your strategies when you are lerning two languages in the same period?
I`m a native portuguese speaker and I`m learning English for a long time. Brazil is not a coutry where we can practice foreign language with some frequency, but in the last year Im trying to keep it as a priority in my life.
I also want to learn others languages like spanish, French and German. Sometimes I feel that I needed to focus only in English to achieve the level C1 (I`m in B2 level) but other time I think that I waited to long to start another language. So I would like to have from you some strategies to keep learning English and French (current in A1/A2)

Answer

Because your language levels are so different, the way that you study will be different too. I have a similar situation - I'm a fairly high level in Italian, but A1 in Arabic.
To improve my Italian I watch lots of films/YouTube videos and focus on 'natural' vocabulary and structures. I also read a lot in Italian.
For Arabic I'm using Duolingo, a text book and an italki teacher. At the moment I just want to string a sentence together :)
I think I'm improving in both languages. I don't know if my progress in Italian has slowed or not, but I'm really enjoying learning a new language from beginner level!

Answer

As everybody said, train both languages at the same time, maybe even just 15 minutes a day for each language and try to do it every time differently (reading the news, listening to a song, doing exercises or watching a movie), in order not to be bored after a while.

Answer

I am a level B2 English speaker too and I want to reach the C1 level despite learning French and German at the same time. You already know the basics and how the language works, and that's the core of every language. Just don't leave the English language as "completed": focus more on French but also try to have time for English. I think that when you reach B2 you just have to read and listen a lot, then your vocabulary automatically gets bigger and your understanding of the language gets more deeper.

Answer

You will learn much faster if you learn only one language at a time, but if you want to learn two, study them daily at different times of the day, such as English in the morning and French in the evening, for example. Or focus on reading and writing in one language and listening and speaking in the other, then switch them once a month, for example. Experiment and you'll find what works best for you.
