How long does it take to speak English fluently?

It depends on your starting point, but with fifteen focused minutes of real speaking most days, hesitation and abandoned sentences usually soften within three to four weeks. Accuracy and vocabulary range take several months, and nobody goes straight from silent reading to easy conversation.

It helps to stop treating fluent as a finish line. Most learners cross three milestones in order: first they stop translating every sentence, then they stop abandoning sentences halfway, and only then does their range widen. The first two are usually visible inside a single season of daily practice; the third is a year-long project, and it keeps going even for people who already sound fluent.
