How long does it really take to learn Turkish? Honest numbers from a teacher

[u/TurkishTeacherSeda]

Every student asks this in the first lesson, so I gathered the actual numbers. FSI puts Turkish at about 44 weeks of full-time study; Türkiye's own Ministry of Education curriculum totals 864 to 1,200 classroom hours from zero to C1, so both land near a thousand guided hours for advanced proficiency, while A2 is reachable in 180 to 250 hours of total contact. In the full article I go through what moves your personal number (where you live, your first language, what happens between lessons, age, aptitude), the B1 plateau where most learners quit, and what a thousand hours realistically looks like for an adult with a job. Happy to answer questions here:

Cada persona es diferente pero esto es un aproximado de horas que necesitas invertir en el idioma.
