Do you think I can handle the workload? I have goals set for my sophomore school year.

10th grade summer:
BYU Elementary College Chemistry
BYU Trigonometry
Piano Certificate of Merit
SAT Prep, Khan Academy, prep books, optional training.
Focus on core courses and do language lessons afterward.
Score 4 or 5s on all APs, and get 95% or more on the SAT score.
Learn Violin and master. Work on manga and anime drawing, as well band songs. Do fun crafts. Spend time on program software and games.

Doesn’t seem to be too much work. I 'll roughly spend 5 hours on my core courses and then simply spend the next 3 hours having fun in my languages. I love language languages, and I’m into Japanese and Spanish is something I’m going to learn deeply. The others are just for fun, and I think I can handle the load. It looks horrendously long. I’m in an online school and it takes me 8 hours so then I would end up finishing at around 4:00PM, which is then I can hang out with my friends, exercise, and do my hobbies. What do you think? My next year courses are rigorous as this.

I might have taken AP Calculus BC instead, but I decided I would keep it cool.

You’re planning on learning 7 different languages, but you’re only going to study them 15 minutes per day? And this won’t be confusing? Maybe you’re some kind of language genius but that seems pretty unrealistic to me.

Next, why would you do trigonometry after precalculus? Never seen that sequence. Trig is usually taught as part of algebra2 or less commonly, immediately following.

Also 10 minutes of fitness? And you’re going to “finish” learning the drums and guitar this summer and then “master” the violin in your spare time next summer while taking two online classes and doing SAT prep?

I think you underestimate how long it takes to learn or master something.

I’m kind of curious what “too much work” would be to you.

You never “finish” learning an instrument. And hence the name, awesomePOLYGLOT, I’ve studied a few languages myself. Latin, German, and Japanese at the same time are hard. Especially Latin.

And why would you do violin when you could do the wonderful VIOLA? game show music plays

Speaking as a multilingual person, you have no idea how much time it takes to become proficient in one language, let alone 8. 15 minutes/day is not going to cut it. This is classic case of "jack of all trades, master of none. I’d suggest restrategizing.

Haha, to be honest that’s WAYYY to much.
1.) 8 languages learned in 15 minutes per day. Learning one language, let alone two or three takes a lot of time to work out. Learn vocab, grammar, pick up on trends in the language. 15 minutes a day isn’t going to cut it. A lot of these languages have different grammar rules, they’re not like English in that sense. I would cut it down to one, at the most two languages for a lot more than 15 minutes a day. A lot.

2.) Master violin over the summer. I don’t think you understand what “mastery” of an instrument is. In my opinion, only a few people EVER master any instrument. I play saxophone, and have played it for 5 years and have practiced consistently. I am nowhere near mastery. I have become pretty good for a teenager, but not a master. In saxophone there has only been one person who has been called out as the master of saxophone and that’s Sigurd Rascher. Violin is a hard instrument, you will not be able to master, or even learn it all in a summer. No, not even if you practice 10 hours a day.

Please reconsider this strategy, you’ll just become frustrated because you will not accomplish all of these goals. Sorry if this sounded rude, that wasn’t the intention, but please reconsider.

I don’t think it’s possible to learn 8 languages for 15 minutes a day. That’d be so confusing! I don’t even think you can learn one language that way.

Focus on two languages at most. I’d recommend choosing two languages from the same family, Spanish + either French or Italian. You could also try Russian and do just that, or Japanese and do just that. Students who take Language 1 in college typically spend about 3 hours doing independent work/review per class period (4 periods a week) to reach Level 2.

Violin: to reach any kind of level, you need 30-45mn a day.

Most of your plan represents a typical teenage fantasy though. :slight_smile: In 18 months you’ll chuckle.
