5) Every language journey is unique to the language learner and these comparisons merely serve to make language learners feel defeated, because they can never meet those time frames (for good reasons!)

4) What is intended here by "general professional proficiency"? Fluency in reading and writing? Fluency in listening ? Fluency in speaking only? Fluency and proficiency in themselves are open to many interpretations.

3) There's absolutely no rational explanation for how languages have been grouped here, but maybe more importantly, there's absolutely no comparison possible between individual language learners, even having the same L1, because every language learner comes with a diff set of skills & difficulties.

2) Many factors other than the first language come into play:
- other languages known (have you learned other case, ergative, tone, or agglutinative languages before?)
- method(s) used,
- avalaible resources (e.g. Mongolian vs Turkish),
- emotional bond with the language
- etc.

1) Hardly anybody studies a language "full-time" (as stated), i.e. 20-30hrs/week. It's not recommended either, bec. your brain needs time to rewire itself. So, brought back to hrs, "30 weeks" = in fact 600-900 hrs, which, at a rate of 3 to 4 hrs/w amounts to 3 to 5 yrs, which seems more realistic.

Chart showing the number of weeks atneeded for an English speaker to learn different languages to general professional proficiency, ranging from 24-30 weeks to 88 weeks, with intermediate groups of 36 weeks and 44 weeks.

Similar charts ranking languages by "difficulty" in function of the time needed to reach "proficiency" are regularly being shared on social media.
