How Long Does It Approximately Take To Learn A Language?
I am a sophmore in high school taking latin, and I have a very keen interest in learning languages and in languages in general. I am doing very well in latin, but I wish to learn Portuguese and Italian before I die lol. Maybe even Spanish and Dutch. I am also fluent in Urdu (Pakistani language) and Hindi (because it is so similar to Urdu). So anyone can give me any tips or approximates or just any information? Thanx

It takes a long time maybe like 3-6 years but you never really stop learning if you get active in learning….. if you are learning latin you should go for french and spanish before portugese and italian…. you should also try german for that is not so hard for english speaking people!
To be completely honest with you I think you never fully learn a language until you are native there… Times.. depends if you ae a fast learner maybe 4-5 years…
Well, it depends on how much you’re exposed, how fast you learn, and how you learn.
I moved from another country to US and I was constantly exposed to English from the TV, radio, classmates…
Five years for me to “master” English.
There’s lots of variables to consider though.
