The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Hindi 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, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Hindi out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Hindi classes online.
