And as for Swedish and Norwegian, I'm not sure I'll be trying those again anytime soon, I couldn't even complete the first lesson in either language. I don't want to over do it with languages while I'm still a beginner at German, but I'm just curious of others, so at the very least I can take a peak at them.

People offer various reasons for not studying several foreign languages at the same time, but the deciding factor for me, based on years of struggle, is the fact that the number of languages would be inversely proportional to the progress you'd make in each of them...
The problem is that in the beginning it didn't seem like I was making any progress in just the one language. So adding another one on top kind of seemed like progress, especially if I covered the intoductory textbook quickly. But then I would end up again in that place where I could only say basic phrases and understand materials aimed at learners... And was making agonizingly slow progress in two languages.
I don't know if you're convinced. I wouldn't be. I always learn on my own mistakes.
