The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Hebrew or knowledge of 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 television, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Hebrew out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Hebrew classes online.
