The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Russian or knowledge of 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 news and movies, 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 Russian out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Russian classes online.
