The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Ukrainian 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 television, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Ukrainian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Ukrainian classes online.
