No offense intended of course, but 'mastering' a language is a whole lot different than being fluent in one. I'm still working on mastering my native language, English.

ta12121 is quite optimistic about his abilities.
He's been studying for 6 months, and claims he's at JLPT 2 level, except for his speaking. If this is true, with emphasis on the if, then he could probably do pretty well. Probably won't "master" them, but could do pretty well.

I don't care about his music

I dunno about that but with seven years you should probably be able to be pretty good at any language.

Pretty much for Japanese i'm 100% serious in mastering it. But for other languages, not sure just yet. I need to immerse myself in others and see what it has to offer first, then i'll dive into it and master those after i finish with Japanese. Cantonese and mandarin are those languages. Although for cantonese i'm not too sure just yet. But i think i should definitely learn a language for interest reasons not for anyother. Otherwise i won't take it seriously.

Well fluency and mastering can sometimes be the same thing. I know what you mean. I could say i'm fluent in english. But mastering english, might be something different. It depends i guess. How would you define master? Fluency in all 4 skills=mastery of the language? Because remember you're never going to know everything in the language, same with English. We will never know everything, but there is point where one can call ourselves fluent. This would apply to japanese as well. There will be a point where you can call yourself fluent. If mastering isn't the best word, i'll say fluent in 2-3 languages by that time. But more realistic I'd say 2 languages to a high level in that time is realistic.

Well i am confident i can get good in Japanese. But all it needs is time. I'm working on fixing my output skills nowadays which is nice.
But what i am doing nowadays for fun is transcribing some subs from the bleach anime. Seriously so annoying as i have keep listening to it over and over again to double check.
