No! If you are a person who is deeply interested in how languages work, and in learning to speak them, then it will be a natural curiosity for you to think about moving on to another language before you are done with the first.

If you have a particular interest in languages in general, you may find it hard to concentrate on one at a time. You must make a decision though, as to whether you will study and commit to one language and become fluent, or will you try to pick up bits of a number of different languages instead. Be aware though, that this can lead you to not being able to speak much of anything at all!

Make that decision right at the start. Decide you are going to commit to the time and hard work that it will take for you to become fluent in a language. Set goals; how many hours a week can you devote to study that ONE language?

You can decide for yourself whether you want to become functionally fluent or simply to be able to hold a basic conversation. But focus on one language, take it to where you are happy, only then move to the next one.

Even if you are a pretty smart cookie, the language you study is fairly straightforward and you use the very best language program there is; to learn a new language requires a lot hard work and commitment over a long period of time. Even for a very easy language, you will probably need hundreds of hours of hard work to speak it correctly. Don't waste your time in studying a bit of this and a bit of that, thinking that in the end you might learn how to speak them all. You won't.

If you still do prefer to learn a smaller amount of a number of different languages, there still needs to be some kind of disciplined learning method that will give you optimum results.

Make yourself a promise once you have chosen your first new language, Spanish for example. Stick with it until you have reached your desired goal. There is no harm in buying a couple of grammar books for French and German, you can even do a couple of lessons for fun, but know in your own mind that it is only for fun until you have finished with the Spanish.

Don't get over excited and finish a whole book of german lessons when you are still only halfway through the Spanish course!

So, in conclusion, it's fairly clear that it is not such a good idea to try and learn more than one language at once.
