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