The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Turkish or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Turkish out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Turkish classes online.
