I know it varies.

Just a range if anyone could.
It's taking me a while to learn French but I'm getting there. It's getting easier to translate random French quotes or sentences I come across so I know that I'm learning. I started last July and I still have a bit of difficulty in reading the dual language French/English books I have. About half the nights, I don't work on French because of whatever reason and when I do work on it, I probably spend only about 45 minutes to an hour each night. Typically, I work on French during the commercials of whatever show I'm watching unless there's nothing on so I just turn the TV off. I sometimes catch up a bit on the weekends but it's not enough to make up for not working on it every night. If I actually spent 60-90 minutes every night, I'm sure I'd be a lot further along than I am now.
