Learning languages one at a time or not?

Question

What do you prefer? Learning languages one at a time or a few (or even all) at once? Do you have multiple courses going on Sololearn at the same time? Why do you prefer this way? There are pros and cons to each way so it would be interesting to see the mix and people's reasoning :)

Answer 1

@Jess welcome buddy

Answer 2

I think that you should learn one language at a time because if you learn more Languages at a time your will not be able to concentrate on one language . It takes time to learn different languages at different time but it's better than more at a time. It's my choice now it's on you

Answer 3

It all depends on what your brain can handle.If you are struggling with a language do not learn others at the SAME TIME.that being said learning other languages at the same time might also help you with the major onr

Answer 4

I prefer to learn more than one at a time. I get bored if I learn one for too long so I switch to another until I'm no longer bored of the first. The order of importance is c++>python >html>Javascript.

Answer 5

I'm also learning French if that counts :)

Answer 6

Yes, that is what I think too :) I was just concentrating on python but so many people seemed to have multiple courses on the go from their profile. I thought I might be doing something wrong, like maybe you can draw connections between languages and it's more helpful to learn 2 at once :)

Thank you @Vansh, I appreciate the reply!

Answer 7

It always depends on the particular way you learn, and why you are doing this. For a beginner, one at a time taking their time to build a simple project with it should be great, and from there see if it's good to try another one or go further with that one. No course will teach you every awesome thing a language can do, if you feel good with one, read more from different sources and at different levels. Consider that it's good to know at least a little bit of different things, like SQL for databases, functional languages and OOP, but specialize in as few as possible.

Answer 8

Thank you @Roberto Guisarre, that's good advice. It also reminded me of the ultimate end goal, which is not just to have all the certificates here on Sololearn :P I definitely want to create something usable one day.

Answer 9

Thanks @Brains :) I'm not struggling with the python course (mostly because I have done some python school comps a few years back) but I didn't want to move through it too fast. That's why I was considering starting C++ at the same time :)
