    Thanks so much you guys for the great comments! To answer some questions it's not that suddenly I just wanted to learn these languages. Most of these languages I have taken a course in or have been learning half-heartedly for a while. Now I'm just taking the next step and finalizing my plan. Thanks for all your advice, here's what I've done:

     

    Each day of the week will represent a different target language. I have gone through the internet bookmarking grammar pages, vocab lists, tv channels, newspapers, common phrases, language chat sites and even a culture blog for one of the languages. Each set is saved into a different bookmark folder for the target language. I'll wake up on that day, and throughout the day access that folder going through and doing each activity. 

     

    I'll keep a record and follow up if anyone is interested in knowing how it goes. 

     

    Again, I appreciate your help. Since I speak English, Japanese, and Spanish, I have these 7 languages to learn before my life goal of 10 languages is complete. These languages are:

     

    Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, and French.

    Hahaha! Much more than that! I have 7 languages I am learning, and I am at different levels for each language. So I've developed a plan with watching tv, reading newspapers, vocab drills, chats, etc in order to immerse myself on the different languages 1 day each week. I'm not sure if it's a good plan, maybe I will become bored of it, but I just made the plan. Hopefully it works!

    Mi primera revista en español Soy Jake (en español tienes el nombre Jacobo o Jacob, sí? es lo mismo). He vivido en Los Angeles, Japon, Hawaií, y ahora vivo en Utah. Me gustan todas las cosas de culturas internacionales que incluye los idiomas, las bailes, y especialmente la comida! Nunca he viajado por un pais en que se habla el español, pero mis amigos me dicen que tengo que visitar a sus paises, entonces voy a hacerlo aun día. Corríge mi revista si quieres. Entiendo más que hablo (como puedes ver) pero quiero escuchar como nativo un día en el futuro... no sé que si sería en 2 años o 20 años pero quiero.

    Hallo! Ik ben Jakob Everts. Ik woon in Amerika maar mijn grootvader komt uit de Nederlands. Ik besluit leren spreeken Nederlands omdat ik heb hem nooit ontmoet. Ik wet jullie zijn druk, zo dank je voor helpen me. I know that my Dutch is really atrocious. I just started learning, actually. I've been blowing my mind with vocabulary practice, and obviously I need a lot of help in grammar. If you have any free time, I would love to practice Dutch!

    "determined by" is an easier way to say essentially the same thing. "found by measuring" or "proportional to" these are all different ways of communicating that meaning.
