Introduction
A question that is asked the most when learning a language is “How much time should I spend to learn it fluently”? Spending time on a language to become fluent or gain some sort of expertise in the language depends on you. It depends on whether you are motivated or not, whether you are staying determined to your routine or not, it depends on how excited you are to learn. But most of the time, that’s not the only thing that matters. Because you can be very excited to learn something and start learning it, say for 2 hours a day, for two weeks and then feel burnt out. Then you would probably lose all your excitement and never learn it again. So, too much excitement is also bad for you. Or spending too much time learning Spanish is not the golden rule of learning it. According to the FSI, if one person spends three hours a day with Spanish, the 480 hours amounts to 160 days or less than six months. If another person spends one hour a day in Spanish, it will take 480 days, or around a year and a half. If you spend less than an hour a day, it will take much longer. However, these are just numbers and it depends on you how much time you take to learn Spanish. You could either learn it within a year if you want to, or it can even take you 10 years!
So how do you determine an estimated amount of time that you need to invest in learning Spanish? There are a lot of factors that you should keep in mind while finding the right answer to this question.
