The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Greek or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Greek out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Greek classes online.
