How long would it take to learn another language online?


I’m sure you know there’s no good answer to that question ;P lol
1.) Which language?
> A good way to tell how hard a language is going to be from an English speaking perspective is to see how far the country the of desired language is away from England.

2.) How committed are you?
>> If you are committed and genuinely interested in the culture you’ll never be fluent.

3.) Are you good at math and English? (grammar stuff)
>> Language and math are both functions of the brain’s left hemisphere yo.

4.) How old are you and are you monolingual so far?
>> Younger people and people who are fluent languages are more apt to pick up languages than adult monolingual people.

As a good general statement, I guess around 18 months for semi-fluency (But this varies A LOT)

Rosetta Stone doesn’t really work y’know… it only works *okay-ish* for Western European languages.

    i would advise you to take an in-class language course.
    language courses online are very hard because of accents and ways of saying things.

    If you have the money, go Rosetta Stone. They’re fast and reliable. Take about a month to learn the basics. 6 months to a year to become rather fluent.
