¿Cuanto tiempo tu necesitaste para aprender Español?

Question

How to say correctly "How much time did you need to learn Spanish? (+ when you arrived here) "¿Cuanto tiempo tu necesitaste para aprender Español?" "¿Cuanto tiempo tuviste que aprender Español?" + (cuando/cuanto (?) viniste aqui)

Can you use both ''necesitar'' and ''tener que" or only necesitar?

Also, if I want to say to the person to correct me when I make errors when I am speaking, can I say something like: "¿Puedes corregir/corrijame cuanto cometer/cometo errores? or just how to say "Correct me if I make errors"

Gracias

Cuánto tiempo necesitaste para aprender español ? Puedes corregirme cuando cometa errores ?

Don't forget the tilde en "Cuánto." Also a typo "español." Oh yes, don't forget "¿" at the beginning of a question. - Daniela2041, Jun 6, 2015

"How much time did you need to learn spanish when you arrived here?" would be:

"¿Cuánto tiempo necesitaste para aprender español cuando llegaste aquí?"

I don't think you would be able to use "tener que" in this case as it wouldn't make sense.

¿Cuánto? = How much?

Cuando = When

Correct me if I make errors would be: "Corrijame si cometo errores"

Which is the usted form of the imperative, you can easily look up the impersonal tu form if you need to.
