Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday sentences, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year.

After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Italian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to master Italian?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Italian will require at least 600 hours of study. The amount of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Italian or knowledge of 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 news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Italian out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Italian classes online.
