Chinese languages

As a total beginner. How long does it take to get to a reasonable level of fluency in this language? I've been stuying independently for 3 months now. Using Pimsleur and some other material. I am on lesson 17 using Pimsleur. My rate of progress seems to be quite slow. Is Pimsleur sufficient or shoul...

Since nobody offered any help here. I had to purchase it.

Thanks anyway.

Hi all:

Does anyone have the Pimsleur Cantonese Level 1? I am will to trade with Mandarin or buy for a nominal price.
