I am a beginner. Should I stick to learning one language at a time or should I mix it up ?

I've started off on c++, should I try python or java or some other language or should I try getting skilled in c++ and then start learning a new one ?

Already, lots of posts and answers about deciding wheater or not to rush into multiple languages, exist in Q/A section. Sit down and to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself do I really capable to handle LEARNING and USING 2 languages at the same time? Most people prefer to stick to one. Some other can handle 2 and 3 and even more. But the point is, being fairly good and proficient in a language demands a great deal of time and energy. So be honest with yourself because nobody can evaluate your potentials better than you.

It is something that you are going to feel it within yourself once you ready to go to the next. But keep it in your mind that C++ in a wild beast and you never can conquer it completely. So trust your gut and needs.

Thank you for taking time answering my question Babak, I really appreciate it. I am going to try and put at least a few hundreds hours in to learning and then a couple hundred more in coding before I will try language #2.
