That depends on your aptitude to learn languages and the time you dedicate. For some people, learning languages is very easy. Henry Schliemann, the discoverer of Troy, spoke 18 languages. According to his daughter, he learnt Spanish, Italian , and Portuguese in six weeks each

I would say 1 year, Spanish is my first language but then I learned English in school since I was a kid. No wim trying to learn french but because I am not constantly learning it its hard to get a grip of the language if you live in the country where the language is spoken it will be easier for you to pick up the language

There is indeed a talent to learn languages.
It also depends on how you go about learning it:
- Books and tapes - forever
- Personal tutor - painful
- Live there - ideal
- Live there and have a local boy/girl friend - perfect!

it take a lot longer to learn a language if you are a adult, kids learn faster, come more natural to them, English is my second languages, I find the grammar is very hard to learn.
