The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Italian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Italian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Italian classes online.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
