What about learning two languages at the same time?

What works: Alternate between them. Learn a topic in language 1, until you fully understood it and you're able to write it fluently. Example: You study for loops. Only now you start to learn the same topic in language 2, while you learn a new topic in language 1. Rinse and repeat.

How about Java and C Sharp ? Some concepts are identical like threading including architecture and methods 🤗

blackwinter, Sanjay Kamath, I think it can be even harder to learn two languages that are quite similar, like C or C++, or Java and Swift - because the devil is in the details! There are slight but important differences, and if you learn the two at the same time, you'll have trouble remembering which belongs to what. So especially if they are very similar, I'd learn them separately, or use the method I described above. You'll have less trouble learning Javascript and HTML at once, because they look and work very differently.
