Zwynd: Awesome! Languages are easy. Babies do it all the time. And you obviously know possibly the hardest language of all already - English. I've got a feeling that learning 5 languages isn't too difficult. I believe french and spanish for example share a lot of vocabulary so learning either of those helps you in the other. I say go for it!
One technique I've read about though I've never tried it myself, is laddering. Learn one language then use that language you've learned to learn your next language. So for your first language you'd use your native language. If you learned Spanish as your first foreign language then you'd learn the next one using Spanish.
Focus on what you've achieved, how far you've come rather on how much you still don't know, or how far you still have to go to reach your goals. Someone said that you have to do things with difficulty before you can do them with ease.
As for doing a lot of things at the same time, isn't it better to focus on one thing at a time and master that one thing rather than focus on lots of things and master none of them?
Someone said: I don't fear the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once each. I fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times.
Parthon: How does one measure their personal growth with learning a new language?
