Of course, the situation with intelligibility between Polish and Russian is much better than between English and German. Still, it makes me really optimistic about language learning in general... I mean, if I actually decided to follow the same process with Welsh. But... Well, I've got many other hobbies, and I can't quite decide that languages are my priority number one. And it's physically impossible to devote an hour per day to each one of them (while living off more than air).
I just needed to give myself something to motivate me, a set time everyday for learning German, usually after getting up for the day in the morning. I also put on music in German while I'm studying out of the book, (the music helps me stay focused), if I'm on Duolingo I obviously can't listen to music.
