The required duration of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available level of Italian or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more 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.
