You can improve dramatically in 6 months, but full fluency is not guaranteed. The real variable is total high-quality input hours, not calendar time.
What decides 6-month outcomes
- Language distance from your native language
- Daily hours of focused listening and reading
- Whether your input is actually comprehensible
- Consistency across the full 6 months
Many learners can reach strong conversational ability in this window. Higher proficiency usually needs longer exposure.
