How long does it generally take to learn another language?

how long does it take to learn a language
LibertineGirl asked:


I want to learn German, how long do you think it will take me if I start now and I also want to move to Germany in 2 years (when I can). If you know a second language, how long did it take you and did you even move to the country of origin ? thanks.

    It really depends what you mean by “learn another language.” In two years you would be unlikely to pass yourself off as a native speaker for example.

    However, you clearly have a strong interest in German and Germany if you’re planning to move there. That will certainly help. In two years you should certainly be able to get yourself around quite comfortably and communicate reasonably well. Your language will improve by leaps and bounds when you’re living there.

    Viel Spaß!
