It depends on the program you take. Their are colleges that offer courses in conversational Spanish, for example. It is typically a two semester sequence (one academic year). However, there are institutions that offer a one semester course, and there are those who pick it up on their own. It just depends on your learning abilities, and the approach you take.

∙ 12y agoThe number of hours needed to learn a foreign language can vary wildly, depending on the learner, the motivation of the learner, the amount of time the learner spends hearing the language in his or her daily environment (immersion), how the learner feels when he or she speaks the foreign language, how the learner must use the foreign language, what kind of teacher is involved, and what kind of teacher/student relationship they have. You can learn faster if you practice every day and if you allow yourself to make mistakes as you learn, because the mistakes will stay in your mind and you will learn faster. When you are alone, practice speaking, reading, writing, and listening. When you are with your teacher or other helper, test every bit of your new skill with them without being afraid of making mistakes.
