If you live in the host country you can become fairly good in a year but still not really fluent. Consider that some of y'all have lived in the US your entire lives and still use an apostrophe to indicate the plural case.

Probably a Romance language would be doable.

I'm going to ask you why. Out of curiousity sake, what's your end game.

Not why a second language, why French?

Go live in France for a year and I'm sure you'll be fluent

And the honest answer is if you immerse yourself. I still wouldn't call 1 year immersion fluent but pretty damn close

I'm fluent in French. I'm currently learning Spanish. I can read it ok and can understand some but I can't talk that well yet. I think I would be better learning from spaniards instead of central and South Americans. Unfortunately they talk way too fast for me to understand everything

I can recommend an immersion program in Canada but you would need 6 weeks off of work
