Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will necessitate at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Japanese or proficiency in 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 TV, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.
