🤷 How long does it take to master English?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.

Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
