Can anybody learn a foreign language? Yes. Learning a foreign language, whether it be English, French or Chinese, requires the same efforts as that of learning any other ability. Anybody can learn to drive, juggle, use the Internet, etc.
You simply have to trust in your ability to learn a new ability until you prove to yourself that you have achieved it.
How long does it take to learn a foreign language? The time required to learn a foreign language depends on a variety of factors, the most important of which is undoubtedly yourself.
Your progress will be conditioned by the language learning tools you employ (adequate methods, professional teaching, etc.), by the amount of time you dedicate to studying and practising (a little everyday is better than a lot from time to time), and especially by your motivation. A motivated student who studies regularly and makes the most of opportunities to practise can achieve a solid base in a matter of months.
