How long does it take to learn 2000 commonly used words?
Depending on your mental capability and ability to retain information.
It all depends. If you take a period of time to learn Chinese characters with great interest, maybe you will master them after a couple of months. While, if you are not interested in it, all will be in vain. Generally speaking, a language learner can master 2000 commonly used words within half a year. I recommend you to take the Chinese courses of eChineselearning, with the native teachers and high quality service; you can master those Chinese characters more quickly.
