You mean nobody can start duolingo and watch shows in a new language without subtitles shortly after
The Defense Language Institute has Spanish at 36 weeks, Russian at 48 weeks, and Mandarin at 64 weeks. And those courses are NOT for the faint of heart. They are for folks who can get down and grind on language learning.
Only prodigies could learn in substantially shorter time, like this guy. https://youtu.be/_GXjPEkDfek
You and I are not that guy.
