I’m at 2,3 million words read over the course of 8 years. No real idea of how many total hours. Lingq has a “study time” stat since 2023 that shows 892 hours. I have 600+ listening hours. I probably have averaged 15-30 minutes of reading a day throughout most of my progress. I do also occasionally work on Spanish or other languages, but focus is mostly on German. Slow and steady =).
No idea what level I’d put myself at. I can read and understand most of what I read (still a ton of words to learn fully). Listening is ok if there are clear speakers, but with natives speaking, or most tv shows, forget it. With subtitles on I can follow anything for the most part. Speaking…Horrible. I believe I could get by if I have to and can express most things, just not in the detail and accuracy I would like.
I quite like my progress though…it shows that with just a little bit a day you can make a lot of progress. It will take more years to be at the level I want, but it is doable.
