Starting from A2, if you intensively listen to/analyse native media of a TL, how many hours of that TL’s native media is needs to be consumed in order to be B2, C1, and C2 in listening?

Let’s say you just finished A2.

**NOTE**: Obviously I am aware the answer to this question will differ by language and the individual person so having any specific language in mind is fine when answering. Please specify the language and the hours or range of hours necessary to fulfil this goal. Or you could give a general answer with a wide range of hours too. That’s fine too.

By intensively analyse I mean, for each sentence in the media:

-Learning the meaning of each word in the sentence

-Learning the meaning the sentence all together

-Learning the grammar of each sentence

-Shadowing the sentence until you are comfortable with how you sound

This is given that you do not have access to IRL listening for whatever reason and don’t consume extensively (meaning never skipping over something you don’t understand fully).
