Progress... 13 months ago

Well, after reviewing my high school corse schedule, it appears as if it will be impossible to meet my goal of fluency in 10 languages by the time I am out of high school. However, I can become fluent in four more not counting English:

Spanish: 1 year to go
German: 3 Years to go
French: Have not started
Mandarin: Only completed a one year course (almost impossible to reach fluency in under 8 years, so this one is iffy)
Russian: Will be hopefully starting this summer. Anyone know how long this will take?



Oh... to learn ten languages.... 13 months ago

I would love to learn at least five fluently before college, but seeing as I have literally almost no resources available to me (or rather I do, but my parents forbid it because of my already large workload), so I am stuck.

1.)English: check
2.)Spanish: Okay, could get by fairly well- a little more vocab and fluency practice and I will be proficient
3.)German: Learning- taking a high school course for the first time so I am just getting started
4.)French: Basically, this is the only school language course that is left for me to take, so I suppose I shall begin this one next year (after I finish up Spanish over the summer)
5.)Mandarin: Will hopefully be going to China summer of 2010 so I am planning on taking some courses from a friend’s mom. I can speak a little- although nowhere close to being able to communicate well. My pronunciation is great though!
6.)Russian: I have lots of Russian friends so I would like to start taking Russian, then I could practice my fluency with them! Also, there is a college scholarship available that I would like to have- but it requires great fluency in Russian
7.)Dutch?: I think it would be beneficial just because there are several languages close to it, meaning it wouldn’t be that hard to accomplish fluency in them- I hope.
8.)Suggestions?
9.)Suggestions?
10.) Suggestions?

8,9, and 10 are left open for suggestions. I would like them to be filled by a useful language that would make it easier to learn more similar ones. Such as Portuguese can be learned by fluency in Spanish in a minimal time period. Suggestions from people with similar goals would be helpful! Thanks!
