I usually spend 1-2 hours. Any more than that and I get too tired. At my pace it takes about a year and a half to 2 years to get to where I can read and listen. But I reckon it could be cut down if I was spending more time a day.

I heard that training diplomats spend 8 hours a day on the language they’re learning: a full time job. Imagine that. I’d be completely exhausted and my brain would be buzzing by the end. You reckon you could do that?

    Oh, very cool. I’m actually a native German speaker, so if you ever have a question, I’d be happy to help / correct your writing.

      Thanks a lot for the offer :D

      I’m actually coming to Germany for a masters in March. So my focus is definitely gonna be on that. My German is still very weak. Maybe because I kept getting distracted with Spanish where I’m much closer to fluency :P

      I’ll need to focus squarely on German for everyday life even though the masters is in English.

        That sounds like a lot of fun and good learning opportunities :)

        All the best with your further studies.
