The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available level of Norwegian or proficiency in 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 videos, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Norwegian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Norwegian classes online.
