How many foreign languages can you take at once?

[Abraham]

Sorry about the botched thread title. I meant it to read "How many foreign languages can you take at once."

I'm wondering if there's a recommended limit for how much can be done at once? I'm not concerned with how much work it'll take, I'm concerned if there's a limit on my brain that I'm not aware of that prevents 3+ languages from being learned at once.

I'm slated for 2 next semester, German and Russian. Although being out of practice for over a year, I've had four years of German in high school, and am starting from scratch with Russian (not really, because I've got the Cyrillic down). I'm thinking of also adding Latin (out of curiosity) or something else.

The answer is that it really depends on the individual and how much time they are willing to dedicate to language learning. Some people may be able to handle taking three or more languages at once without any problems, while others may find it difficult to focus on more than one language at a time. Ultimately, it's up to the learner to decide how much they can handle.
