The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Spanish or proficiency in 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 TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud.
