First of all i have to say that French has 6 levels, but when you finish level 2, you will be able to speak and communicate with others so easily, and have a daily conversation. I propose you to have a method. The method that i teach to my students has 9 units which has 36 lessons for each level. So if you want to have a class with me each level takes usually 36 to 40 hours, but it also depends to you, to study so hard and do everything i say like your homework and review all the pdf i give it to you after each session. If you want talk more about you and your goal, you can take a session with me
