I have a unique spin on the common question of "how do I learn multiple languages at once?" Most of the time, when people learn multiple languages at the same time, they separate it into different time blocks. E.g. Study Spanish for one hour, then study German for one hour.
But what if you learned them simultaneously? For example:
- ENGLISH: I am here.
- FRENCH: Je suis ici.
- GERMAN: Ich bin hier.
- DUTCH: Ik ben hier.
- SPANISH: Estoy aquí.
It seems like you could really cut down the time required to organize and learn vocabulary if you simply learned them all at once and 'stack' them upon each other.
I initially got this idea from two separate sources:
-
One, I bought a book that lists common business vocabulary in 8 languages, side-by-side.
-
Two, this site. It has audio files for over 50 languages and the phrases for each language are exactly the same.
Thoughts on this approach? Has anyone done something similar?
Obviously it has limited usefulness once you get to an advanced level of language, when sentence structure and word use becomes extremely complex. But even then, you could likely find a work of literature that is available in multiple languages (say, the Bible or Harry Potter) and then take note of any unique meanings for a specific word.
I also don't think you'd be likely to confuse the languages if they are different enough (although personally I have never had any issue with confusing one language for another, even Italian and Spanish or Dutch and German.)
