How many years do you think it would take an adult to become fluent in a second language?
When their first language is English and they are learning German.

Have you looked into the 'Common european framework of reference for languages' - some online resorces may give you an idea where your fluency level is. 2-3 years should give you good working knowledge, but you'll need some sort of full immersion to gain any sort of fluency, and then there's retaining it.
@elVato I agree 100% I think that once I make the move to Germany, things will begin to improve. I have looked into the framework from a few different language schools, but I was a bit dubious about whether or not someone REALLY became fluent in that time frame. I will be fine. I just have to keep at it. :)
