In a month 
? Good luck, I learned Spanish during 8 years at school, and I am not speaking it fluently. My problem with it is that one of my native languages, Occitan, is a cousin of Spanish and I tend to mix them. Each time I go to Spain, I need a good day of adaptation to remember my Spanish.

@LadyDuck I never learned Italian but I read it well with the other Latin languages I know and Latin itself. I do not try to speak it. My main problem in Italy, is that I understand well what people are telling me, but Italians have more problems to understand my French or Spanish. I even tried Latin a few times, and it failed miserably

One year seems to be a minimum needed to learn the grammar and start to speak a foreign language. I do not believe in quick methods. You just learn to repeat a few basic phrases like a parrot. It can be enough to survive in a shop or a hotel, but I would not call that learning a language.

@topffer One year is just enough for the basics, to speak you need to practice and more time. I really learned to speak French after I lived in Monte-Carlo. I did not learn what is needed in real life during the four years I studied French in school.

How easy it would be for you would depend quite a lot on how close your native language is to Spanish and how much chance you have to practice with Spanish speakers. If you took an intensive language-laboratory course every day for a month, I imagine that you would be able to read, speak and understand Spanish reasonably well by the end of it.

Speaking a close language is a handicap, at least for me, as I tend to mix the two. I speak natively Occitan which is very close to Catalan, and a cousin of Castillan/Spanish, and I can hardly speak fluently Spanish after 8 years of Spanish at school. No problem to understand it though, but when I do not remember a word, I tell it in Occitan and hope to be understood
