The amount of time it takes to learn English will differ depending on various factors such as your current level of proficiency, your learning style, the amount of time you can dedicate learning, and the resources available to you. It also depends on the level that you want to reach and it's important to remember that language learning is a lifelong process, and there's always room for improvement.

  • I’d say yes! It’s like learning to play a musical instrument or (in my case) learning magic. To fully understand something does take time. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

  • I guess it all depends on the level you want to reach and the amount of time you get exposed to the language. The amount of time it will take you to reach the level of English you want is proportional to the amount of time you get exposure to the language. The more you read and listen to English, the faster you'll speak and write.

Your scheduled time to learn, your level of proficiency, how fast are you in learning because some people are slow learners.The resources available or the learning materials. The level you want to reach also matters, so in learning English, it will not end unless you decide to stop it yourself.

  • Yes and no; it depends on how you want to use it. If you're using it for traveling, you only need to know some basic words and phrases. These can be learned quickly. If you want to chat with an English speaking friend, this can take longer. However, you don't need to know everything overnight. Practice what you know and keep adding to it, and you will be fine no matter how much you know or don't know.
