The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your already acquired level of Swedish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Swedish out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Swedish classes online.
