9 months, 12 days, 13 hours, 7 minutes and 12 seconds if you work hard.
With subliminal mind control and two laxatives it can be achieved overnight.
I am only a beginner, but it seems to me that reading written spanish is easier than listening. Certainly if your first language is English, reading is easier because you can recognise, or guess the meaning of, a great number of words. Listening is harder because of course people speaking their native language seem to speak very fast, and they use colloquial language, slang etc. It is far better to ask someone to speak slowly than to say si, si, when you really don't understand. Patience, and not being too hard on yourself will go a long way.
