Hi,
First, i'd like to say thanks for all the informations you guys post on this forum, it helps a lot.
So my problem is, i'm learning japanese since like 2 weeks. I have a self deck where i put some basics grammars structures and the core2000 i found here. I also use skritter to practice writing (more reading than writting actually).
But with my chinese learning which is arround intermediate level, i found it difficult to practice chinese and japanese the same day. It takes lot of times.
My priority is my chinese, but i still would like to improve my japanese with minimum time per day.
Do you have any advise ? maybe i should only do core2000 but would that be enough ?

Prioritize I'd say. You can learn more than one language at a time but one thing people say is that, it would take a long while to get to a high level with learning two languages during the same time. Usual if one works/immerses themselves in a language/practice. It usual takes 2-3 years to become fluent. So imagine trying to learn 2 at the same time? possibly 4-5 years. probably more. I'd say learn what's more important to you at the moment.
For me japanese is my priority at the moment, then I'll learn mandarin Chinese afterwards. Good thing is, the languages use similar kanji, so it should take less time to get to a good level since one would be already used and kanji and all.
