    Hello s:

    If you're good, and you're instructor/software program is good, and you work hard, you can probably eek your way through in a couple weeks. You can be fluent in about 8 weeks.

    Depends on how smart you are #1 and your aptitude to learn a new language.

    And what degree of fluency you are expecting.

    You can get by in a restaurant etc WITH a dictionary in a matter of weeks... Fluency will take years.

    I speak several languages... some are easier to learn than others are,

    "Just talk" can mean a lot of things.

    Are you a fast learner, do you have a knack for foreign languages? Exactly how are you going to learn this. There are a LOT of factors at play before that can be answered. And theanswer will not be the same for two people.
