There are many factors that depend on learning Portuguese. But at the age of 18, you must have to be dedicated to your learning. Time taken to learn depends on how you manage your time and how short time you will take to complete your everyday task related to Portuguese learning.
To learn Portuguese at a faster pace, make sure you focus on producing language (speaking, writing) as much as you focus on receiving language (reading, watching TV, listening to podcasts, playing with apps). Don’t make the common mistake of choosing one group over the other, which will make having a regular conversation almost impossible.
I would recommend devoting at least 20-60 minutes a day to active Portuguese practice. This could be writing a diary entry, having a speaking lesson, reading a simple news article and testing yourself for comprehension, or watching a video in Portuguese to see how much you can understand.
