Depends. It really depends
What are you going to do in the 4-5 hours, and what concepts are you going to grasp and when? And how long would it take for you to understand a certain concept
If you are a relatively fast learner, 6 months with 4-5 hours a day is a lot and you'd get far if you were to be focused
but don't overwork yourself as well... and pressure yourself because of this
language learning is about passion, and not brute forcing it (that's why if you're learning for school, it is not a great place to start)

- 50 reps of glossika reviewing old cards and 50 of new cards (30 minutes)
- 1 hour long class each day (or every other day if i'm busy) (1 hour)
- hammering weak grammar concepts with chatgpt pratice until i understand better (30-ish minutes)
- doing a few lessons a day on babbel app (20-ish minutes)
- watching easy french videos when eating dinner usually
- listening to french music 90% of the time
- 2 pimsleur lessons to practice listening & speaking (30 minutes x 2)
Probably closer to 3-4 hours of active studying / participating tbf, but that's been my routine the past few months and i feel like i've been learning very quick. I studied german in school so i think that helped my initial speed quite a bit too.

as long as what you are doing does not burden you. fine. but with this, knowing your background more. in 6 months youd accomplish a lot. espescailly if you have class.
is the class 1:1 with a tutor?
hazy smelt
small group usually 3 ish

it's babble live, i'm doing this instead of italki since you pay a flat monthly rate and get unlimited classes, so i can do it every day
and it's flexible w schedule etc.
twin wing
you'd get more out of 1:1, but to balance costs, youd see like twice-ish a week
hazy smelt
hmm you think 1:1 is more beneficial?

ah i see, so thats covered
hazy smelt
like i get more out of the time spent doing?

i would say so as they can tailor to your needs
yes
for example one day you go
"damn what a nice day to learn about how to be a waitor in french as im going to work and i meet a lotta tourists"
they can do that
and that by tailoring to what you want, and knowing your interests they can tailor needs to you
what you need, rather than for example waht this other guy needs cuz he doesnt understand a concept you already know

ah i see i see that does sound pretty good, i might try that out. what do you recommend, italki?
a lot of times during them i zone out for that reason lol

i was stuck in a 2:1 class, one with a 5 year old, another with a 9 year old (as per tutoring centers arrangement) it was dreadful. i swapped classeses from the 5yo to the 9yo class, one day the teacher with the 9yo was sick and i got swapped back for a lesson with the 5yo and they were on the same fricken unit i was in when i left.
i begged and begged for 1;1 and got what i wanted
come august 20th would be my 4 year anniversary of commencing french, and im solid B2 (no delf)

you can conversate w/o problems at b2 right
like with native speakers etc
twin wing
not 100% no issues
but 90%
you are able to converse on most things
but if its something niche or youve never touched base on then youre screwed
youd mess up small amounts
but messing up to the extent someone would understand you from an error perspectivve
mighty prism
you can conversate w/o problems at b2 right
not fully no
probably not even 90%
I'm at a certified b2 and i'd say for me it's somewhere between 70 and 80

it depends what youve been taught at what pathway
