It usually takes between 2-4 months to learn Japanese, depending on how much effort you put in. If you only attend one class a week for 2 hours, it might take around 4 months to reach the upper beginner or lower intermediate level. If you commit to 2 classes per week and study, you can finish the upper beginner level in around 2 months.
