Now, ever since I started to learn German, I am starting to mix these languages, and it's like I am forgetting English :$.

This is my 4'th language so I am having a real hard time learning it, besides I am not that young anymore.....

I keep editing my posts for solid 10 minutes for grammar mistakes and still leave some behind :D.

So, I am sorry for my rusty English, guys.

Danke.

I mean thanks....
 
If you try to learn German , you will not be able to speak english...very good.
I am telling from experience.
The German language is cold....English is warm.
The face muscles will change at the pronunciation.
Ex:
I thought (you place your tongue between your teeth)
Ich habe gedacht (no tongue used or muscles)
Good luck.
 
Haha dude, I get this so much. When I began with Spanish, my mind just gave up on good English
I mix up words, drop simple ones, and write “und” when I mean “and” like no big deal.

But don't sweat it the fact you're handling 4 languages puts you top of most folks. A few mess-ups in talk won't make much odds, more so here. Most of us are way too busy to mind

Stick with it German is hard, but you got this!
 
I started streak on dulingo for russian and now i call cat koshka and friend drook :) but russian is not that hard to read, but need to work on vocab too much.
 
English is my second language, Spanish is my first. Sometimes, a lot of times, i forget words in Spanish and only remember them in English. Worst is, none of my family speaks English. I even think and dream in English now lol

Please don't apologise for struggling with any non-native language, never mind FOUR!

As a born & bred English native, I can assure you that you already type better than many of our English natives.

Also, credit to you for taking the time & effort to learn a 2nd/3rd/4th language. Over two-thirds of my fellow countrymen (and women) don't speak another language - even basic / semi-fluently - and more often than not arrogantly think they can travel overseas and make zero attempt to speak the language of the country they are in... because "Everyone will speak English". It's probably my biggest bugbear.

Learning another language is bloody difficult. Especially English, considering we have so many subtleties, double meanings, and - I think - the largest number of common vocabulary words/phrases in the world.

You're doing just fine. Good for you.
