How many hours per week should I study to reach B2 Ukrainian
To reach a B2 level in Ukrainian, it generally takes about 800 to 1100 hours of study for learners starting from zero knowledge. This usually translates to 1-2 years of consistent study with daily practice.
For an effective weekly study routine, dedicating around 5 to 10 hours per week will allow steady progress toward B2 in around 1-2 years, especially if study sessions are spread out across the week rather than concentrated in a single day. More frequent, shorter daily sessions are preferable to occasional longer sessions for better retention and continuous learning flow.
Here is a more detailed breakdown:
- 5 to 10 hours per week, consistently, is a strong commitment that fits many learners aiming for B2 in about 1-2 years.
- Lesser commitment of about 3 hours per week will take longer, potentially 3-4 years.
- Immersion or higher intensity study can speed up the process considerably.
- Consistency and spreading study sessions throughout the week help retention and efficiency.
In summary, aiming for about 5-10 hours of study weekly with daily or near-daily engagement is a practical and effective plan to reach B2 in Ukrainian within 1-2 years depending on individual factors like previous language experience and study quality.
