You'll see parallels between languages, which will serve as the source of extra inspiration to help you keep going. Learning several languages increases your awareness of other cultures. And learning multiple languages gives you even more cultural context and linguistic benefits. If you, like Deux-olingo, are also wondering if you can study multiple languages, the answer is YES! We know language learning has many advantages, including cognitive benefits and so much more. I know-easier said than done! But where there is a will, there is a way! How to learn multiple languages at once Russian is my native language, and I studied English and French in high school, so that left me with Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish. It was then that I set a goal for myself to (some day) master the six official languages of the United Nations– Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Oh, Deux-olingo, this is a topic that sparked my interest when I was a little kid and continues to fascinate me even to this day: multilingualism! I remember the moment when a naive romantic movie about a United Nations worker, who could easily switch between several languages, inspired me to be just like her. Can different languages be learned together, or does that slow progress? I’m currently enjoying the German course on Duolingo, but I’m also listening to the French podcast while driving. This linguistic experience makes me really excited to explore today’s burning question from a like-minded language enthusiast! This week's question: I studied Ukrainian in school and eventually became bilingual, which is what prompted me later to get my master’s degree in Linguistics and eventually my second master’s in Instructional Design.

I grew up in a Russian-speaking part of Ukraine, and when the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Ukraine finally got its chance to reclaim its linguistic identity by promoting the Ukrainian language. Hello learners! My name is Mykhaylo Zakryzhevskyy, and this week I will be taking over Dear Duolingo! I am an English Curriculum Designer at Duolingo developing our English courses for speakers of Russian and French.
