To understand the common characters will take a full year of immersion and dedication.
Even then, your level of mandarin proficiency will still be at a nursery level.
After 2 years of full immersion, your level of Mandarin proficiency will reach Kindergarten/Primary school level.
It would take full 3 years of non-stop Mandarin-speaking and regular mixing with the
Chinese for you to stop sounding like a retard in Mandarin Chinese.
After 5 years, your level of Mandarin proficiency would reach Middle school/High school.
It would take a decade if you choose to study fucking Middle/Traditional Chinese & Ancient Chinese.
To speak like a native, you have to express the character in their correct four tones at the correct pace (English speakers talk fucking slow), punctuation and timing.
