How many hours do I need to study to learn English?
In a magazine I read that to learn English is necessary to study about 3000 hours, then we will can to start comunicate us with some fluently, but never we will can speak perfect.
Then I need to study 1 hour during 10 years,
or I need to study 2 housr during 5 years,
or I need go to an English country and in one or two years I will learn English.
Is It correct?
And for to learn other languages, how many hours are necessary?
For example, how many hours do I need for to learn Chinese?
Search from various English teachers...

Hmmm, I think that mostly depends on your motivation, input and origin. And there might be something like ''A feeling for languages''.
I see you are spanish, so I guess some words in the English vocabulary are similar to spanish (for example, the word 'similar'). But how long will it take for you to learn English? Yeah, that depends on your input, motivation and origin.
About Chinese... I think native Cantonese speakers for example could learn Mandarin in a shorter time than a native dutch speaker like me does. We use the latin alphabet, they use characters. And I have heard that there are over 5000 characters.
So for me it would take a lot of effort to learn languages such as Chinese.
