The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Indonesian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Indonesian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Indonesian classes online.
