Many advertise stating with in 30/ 60 days you will speak like a forigner which would merely be humbug. You put English as first lang and communicate through it rather than your mother tongue.

It comepletely depends on learners'e level of the learner, interest, confidenance, dedication and practice along with teachersinterest, dedication and patience. If a learner is 100% in every perspective and the teacher is 100% in everything then we may say that in 6 months a learner can become proficient if he is starting from an adult level. read less

It is directly proportionate to the efforts you put. The more you practice the faster you learn. First of all love the language. The rest is easy. Get surrounded by English. The more you listen, it is better for you. Watch English programmes on the TV. Read the English news paper. Speak without hesitation....

It is directly proportionate to the efforts you put. The more you practice the faster you learn. First of all love the language. The rest is easy. Get surrounded by English. The more you listen, it is better for you. Watch English programmes on the TV. Read the English news paper. Speak without hesitation. Practice makes you perfect. Enhance your vocabulary. Use the dictionary effectively. Know the meaning of the word in its right context. Learn the whole phrase not merely the word. Collocation is important. Just as you listen, learn what word goes with what word. These things hasten your process of learning. In three months you can get a hang of the language. Within six months you gain proficiency. Ultimately, no pain, no gain. read less

It depends on the amount of interest one has to learn and develop English fluency. Above all it depends on the amount of effort he/she puts into action.

The learning varies from person to person. It also depends upon the effort one is ready to put in. Generally three to six months are required for fair command over a language of which basics are known.
