In preparation for a long trip starting in brazil and across europe I wanted some advice on how to optimize my time learning languages.
I have a base in French (AP in HS) and Spanish (Pimsleur + extra studies) which allows me to have conversations with 5 year olds but no one older.
Portuguese is obviously essential in Brazil and I intend to spend a decent amount of time in France.
So the question is: given 2 years of preparation how should the time be broken up? Focus on perfecting french then transition to portuguese? Shore up spanish then french and hope to get by on spanish in brazil?
Obviously I'm worried that if I mix this all up at the end I'll just be speaking some made up bastard-child language of all three.
