The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Spanish or familiarity with 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 news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
