Fiance moved to my country and it was insane seeing her go from knowing the numbers 1 to 10 to being able to carry out discussions with my parents, doctors, people in public in less than 12 months. And we speak her native English at home.
She took a class (~1 hour/week for three months) which included forced conversations with a tutor for 10-15 minutes/week where they would talk freely about a subject and a simple written handin about the same topic at the 6 to 9 month mark and I'm really jealous I've never been able to adopt a language that effectively.
