The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Norwegian or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Norwegian out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Norwegian classes online.
