I notice though, that you didn't provide any alternate estimates or a suggestion as to how they could be derived! How did I know it would end like that?

My suggestion would be to do some searching on google scholar. It's not as if people haven't published studies the length of time it takes to teach students languages or the length of time it takes learners to acquire various skills. You just have to go looking for it. Heck you could even do a lit review if you wanted! I personally don't actually want to spend a portion of my spring break doing the research for you.
So there's your answer - if you want to keep flogging this horse be my guest, but I honestly have better things to do and this thread has been derailed enough as it is.
