It also probably depends on how many languages you already know - it seems like it's easier for people who know multiple languages to learn a new one than it is for someone who only knows one. It also probably depends on just how much effort you're devoting to learning. If you're just taking classes to learn a language you could go years and still be completely unable to communicate with native speakers at anything more than the most basic level, but if you go live somewhere where most people are only speaking that language, you can become quite proficient in a matter of months (this is the main mechanic behind immersion learning). "Average" time to learn really isn't all that useful to generalize your own potential success, because there's a huge range of learning time for different people, and no guarantee that you're going to fall anywhere close to the middle. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
