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.

It's totally dependant on the persons effort to learn - the best thing to do is to live in the country of the language you wish to learn

@Dlrannie I'm pretty dedicated to learning German. I think I have already come a long way from where I started. But you are correct, once I move to Germany, my pronunciation will get a lot better and I will be able to expand on my vocabulary. :)

@lauriethecolourful I'm sure you will - if you can learn to do your thinking in the language rather than mentally translating from English then you will crack it quickly. It's how I deal with the 3 languages I speak
