Even a year is a push because most people simply do not have lots of hours each day to dedicate to learning a language. Sadly, this is not an environment most people can replicate. Where you would be studying the language for 6-8 hours a day, and be constantly surrounded by it. People learning in 6 months to a year may really only be possible in an immersive environment where you're doing an intensive language program in the country. learning Spanish is not going to use the same methods as how you would learn Chinese). A huge part of language learning is experimenting and seeing what resources and methods work for you, something that you would have to do with each language (e.g. For something like Russian ( 1,100 hours) or for Chinese 2,200 hours but it's important to note that these hours reflect classroom / tutoring, and it would likely be longer still for self study. For something like Spanish, it estimates 600 hours of study until you get to B1/B2. We're still learning + improving our native language for example. Learning a language is a lifetime commitment, there's no neat box to put it in. Languages are a lot more complicated than "oh I studied it for x amount of time, and now I'm complete". You will not be able to learn any of these languages in six months (or even a year!), and if you go in with that mindset you will be setting yourself up for failure.
