Spanish seems simple enough, but it would still take me years to really be able to have a normal conversation in Spanish.

I mean...I'd say for most adults, it would probably take a minimum of a year of learning to have a conversation in a new language. After a year of studing Irish Gaelic, I have enough basic knowledge to greet a person, ask how they are...and MAYBE ask about their interests/hobbies or for directions (to a limited number of places including library, pub/bar, and hospital). Though I can't guarantee I'd be able to understand all of their replies. xD
Oh, and my friend and I can kind of complain about our coworkers, but that's still probably not using correct grammar so...
