Hi Edward, I was thinking the same thing that we should be really good at one language before starting to learn other languages. But how long will it take for one to master a language? Of course it depends on their abilities. But I think it does not take less than 2 years. 2 year is a good amount of time, for a lot of people, they spend a lot of time, maybe more than 10 years to learn one language. What really matters to me is the time. I think I just can't master English in a short of time and right now I need to learn Korean for my job. I can't wait that long. Also, it's much better if we can learn multiple languages at the same time. It saves time.
So, just think like this: If you have to learn 2 or 3 languages at a time. What would be best to do?
0 votedSeptember 13, 20180- Thank you, Ms. Lauren. I did combine English and Korean. I wrote down Korean words and the meanings or explanations in English. Also, I communicate with my boss in English everyday but it's still not enough I guess. I'll re-set my schedule and try not to focus on one language than the other. Thank you once again. What you said is really helpful.0 votedSeptember 13, 20180
- Can we learn multiple languages at the same time?
I've learned English for several years since it was mandatory for students. I'm still trying to be better at English but I now I want to learn more languages. I'm interested in Korean and Chinese. I've started learning Korean by myself since April this year. I realized that I've forgot a lot of English words since then. I did not completely forgot the words, they were just somewhere on my mind, showed up and disappeared sometimes. Therefore, my reaction when speaking gets slower. I can see that's a bad sign. I'm forgetting English while focusing on learning Korean.
So, my question is: Can we learn multiple languages at the same time? And how can we master them all?
My Korean is getting better, but my English is getting worse. *sigh*

Hi, I'm a native Vietnamese speaker. I'm currently learning Korean. I find it really difficult to memorize new vocabularies, also grammar rules. It's would be nice if anyone here is a native Korean can spend sometimes to help me. we can practice English or I can teach you Vietnamese if you're interested.
감사합니다...
July 18, 201800 - It would have been good... I got invited to an interview for the teaching assistant job at a school at 2 p.m yesterday. To be honest, I didnt think I'm qualified for the job since they required good English skills (the English level of candidates must be around band 6.5 of the IELTS test). But I still sent my CV to them. Surprisingly, they replied back to me 2 hours later asking if I could attend the interview the following day. I was in my hometown at that time. It's 60 kilometers away from Hanoi. I had to wake up at 4 a.m to go to Hanoi and then went back home the same day just for the interview. I got to Hanoi at 6 a.m. I walked to my rent room and slept a little. At 1.30 p.m, I went out to print out my CV and headed to the school. Sitting there at the table were a foreign guy and two Vietnamese girls. I got excited because I've never been interviewed by a foreigner. He started to asked me some questions. He was nice and friendly. The way he talked to me made me comfortable. This interview was beyond my imagination. He only asked me about my hobbies, my hometown and my tutoring job I'm doing at the moment. The two girls were kind, too. They patiently listen to me. It was not an interview, to me, it was actually like a normal conversation between me and my friends. I left there at 3 p.m. I walked to my rent room to get my backpack n jumped on a bus to go home. I was fully satisfied and happy even though I knew I didn't do it good. My answers to his questions were short and lack of information. I also made grammar mistakes and misunderstood him somtimes. But I didnt really mind it. "It will be ok if I fail, I already had a good time talking to them. I'll try to study harder and apply for the job again" , I told myself that. I got home at 7.30 p.m. After dinner, I opened my laptop n read my CV again. That moment I realized I had made a big mistake. In my CV, I wrote that my students I've been tutoring are 6 and 14. The time and dates I mentioned in my CV were not accurate, they were just close to the real dates since I didn't remember exactly. But when he asked me about my experiences, I told him I got two students at the moment, they were 8 and 10. Then he started asking me a bunch of questions about my students, like if they are brothers or sisters, the name of their school, the time I have taught them and some weird questions. It was clearly he doubt me. I was being a liar to them. Thinking about that makes me sick. Everything I told them was the truth. I'm not a liar.June 30, 201740
- Do you know the song named "Hello"? There is a sentence with the wrong grammar rule: it don't matter. It should be "It doesn't matter". But Aldele used the word "don't" instead of "doesn't" because "don't" fits the rythem. (: so, maybe this is what you are looking for. Actually, I watched a video on Facebook about the conversation between 2 guys. One said " It's going down". The other said "No, It don't, it don't go down". I felt weird. English is crazy. English writing and English speaking are much different. I think so.0 votedMay 23, 20160
