How much daily practice is needed to learn German quickly

Based on the current research and language learning insights, to learn German quickly, effective daily practice generally requires about 1 to 2 hours per day. Consistent, focused practice with active engagement such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing helps accelerate fluency development. Spaced and distributed practice, rather than long cramming sessions, supports better retention and skill mastery for second languages including German. Practice frequency and quality, including incorporation of immersive or interactive language activities, also play key roles in how quickly one learns German. ^{1, 2}
