The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Swedish 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 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 Swedish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Swedish classes online.
