I'd like to discuss one subject. We already have couple threads here that discuss learning two and more languages at the same time, but they barely mention the issue.
If you decide to learn a foreign language and then make a simple search online, you will find a lot of good websites that will help you to learn. There are sites with free lessons, language exchange partners, forums, etc. ready to help. That's just great. What I don't understand however is why people claim to be learning three-four-five-six-seven-EIGHT+ foreign languages at the same time. Is this possible? Just go to the sites like livemocha.com or italki.com and hang out there for a while and you will see that most users are learning more than one foreign language. So what's up with that? Is this a new trend? Are those just claims without any grounds? Have you ever tried learning two and more languages at the same time? To what effect? What is your opinion on this subject?
