Oh man, that sounds like a recipe for instant confusion (my brain can barely handle one language at a time, to be honest). Tried something similar with a video game once and just sat there staring blankly at the screen. It's like your eyes and ears get into a little argument and neither one wins. Definitely not a recommended method for trying to learn a language faster, that's for sure. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Well actually, I've read that this kind of confusion is part of why it can work. Your brain has to work harder to sort out the mismatch, which can actually help cement the new words better.

Actually, I've found it helps my listening skills a lot.
