The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Czech or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Czech out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Czech classes online.
