The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of Norwegian or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Norwegian out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Norwegian classes online.
