I started learning french at 50 to be an example to my teenage son, encouraging him to learn a second language rather than playing fortnite. It is harder when you are not in french speaking area/country. Everything around us is english. I listen ici.radio-canada during commute and after 6 month in, I can understand 60-70%. But if I would be in Quebec listening french all day, I think learning would be much faster even at middle age. |

Full immersion is obviously a huge booster to fluency by a mix of opportunity (you're basically learning and practicing all the time) and necessity (you want to navigate the country without being stuck to a dictionary or translation application).
As long as you have a working basis and don't hang out too much with expats from your own country / first language (it's obviously comfortable and easy to slip into an insular community) even 3~6 months will do absolute wonders.
