The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.
