Jun 16, 2019 · To finish a language tree on Duolingo in 6 months, you will need to spend a minimum of 130 minutes per day on Duolingo, for a full 180 days. That’s 2 hours and ten minutes. Alrighty them. Read about the evolution of the Duolingo mascot, “Duo,” here.
For languages such as Chinese (Mandarin) and Arabic, approximately 2200 hours are needed for general proficiency, and the Duolingo course only provides around 12 and hours of active learning (but likely much longer, as the Chinese and Arabic lessons often take longer).
EDIT: According to the answers it takes between 4 and 6 months to finish a Duolingo course, although if you work hard you may finish it in 3 months. Thanks for your help! 27 comments
When signing up for Duolingo, you set a daily goal. You can choose between 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes a day. Most of the Duolingo marketing touts “Spending 15 minutes a day learning a new language.”

Duolingo premium is about $13 USD per month, and you get some fun features. But most important is that you don’t spend time on ads. If you’re committed to practicing daily – and finishing a language in under 4 years – you’ll want to get rid of the ads. Spend your practice time practicing, not waiting for an ad to load.
So, if you have 387.5 hours of material to get through – and you practice for 15 minutes a day – that’s 1,550 days. (387.5 hours is 23,250 minutes. Divide that by 15 minutes per day, and you get 1,550 days to finish a language.)
Duolingo is a American language learning platform, it is a website and mobile application where you can learn any language you want. It also includes digital language proficiency assessment exam.
Well ofcourse, it is not like the time will be same for everyone, it’s definitely depends on the hard work and efforts one puts on learning it. What Duolingo does is that it teaches you some vocabulary of that particular language and a range of sentence structures.
So Duolingo teaches you different languages. Each language is called a ‘tree’ on Duolingo. In which you start from the basics, with very easy words and questions, it’s like playing a game so you’ll enjoy it just like a game.
We wanted to see how well our learners compare to U.S. university students, so we started by finding Duolingo learners in the U.S. who were studying Spanish or French on the app. We contacted some of these learners as soon as they completed Unit 5.
As you might expect, university students' test scores improved a little each semester they kept studying the language. So where did the Duolingo learners' scores fall? How many semesters is learning up to Unit 5 comparable to?
Each semester in the U.S. is about four months' worth of study, and language classes might average about 60 hours of class time each semester (estimating 4 hours per week for 15 weeks). That means four semesters of university classes takes at least 240 hours to complete, not counting homework and studying!
Our mission at Duolingo is to bring high-quality language teaching to the world, for free, forever, and these new results show just how much our learners are able to get out of our courses: Duolingo learners reach four semesters of language proficiency in half the time as U.S. university students.
