🤓 I try to learn one language to an upper-intermediate level so that it's good enough to be a language of instruction for the other language. For example, once I learned Korean to a good enough level, I was able to study Japanese using textbooks written in Korean.
⏰ Try the 80/20 approach if you're learning two languages at once. Spend 80% of your time on one (main) language, and then 20% of your time on the other language. This works best when they are two different languages or if you are intermediate+ in both. If you've decided that Italian is more important for your future than French, for example, you can dedicate majority of your time to learning Italian and the rest for French. You won't feel guilty for not spending the same amount of time on both since you've identified Italian as the main language.
🎶 Regularly maintain your more-advanced languages. Listen to music and podcasts, and read articles as much as you can. Once you're upper intermediate in one language, you can spend more passive time on it and actively learn the languages you're less strong in. Check out my Spotify for playlists in various languages!
