The actual range of time can differ significantly 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 a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Swedish out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Swedish classes online.
