How long does it take to become fluent in English?

贵重物品
父亲把五岁的儿子抱在怀里，全神贯注地看篮球赛，孩子看到运动员拼命地抢球，便问道：“爸爸，篮球一定很贵，是吗”，爸爸惊诧地说：“宝贝，你怎么会这样想呢？”孩子说：“要是不贵，他们为什么不每人买一个呢？”
valuables
The father held his five-year-old son in his arms and watched the basketball game intently. When the child saw the players fighting for the ball desperately, he asked, "Dad, basketball must be very expensive, isn't it?" the father said in surprise, "baby, how can you think so?" The child said, "if it's not expensive, why don't they each buy one?"

Poema da Necessidade

É preciso casar João,
é preciso suportar Antônio,
é preciso odiar Melquíades
é preciso substituir nós todos.

É preciso salvar o país,
é preciso crer em Deus,
é preciso pagar as dívidas,
é preciso comprar um rádio,
é preciso esquecer fulana.

É preciso estudar volapuque,
é preciso estar sempre bêbado,
é preciso ler Baudelaire,
é preciso colher as flores
de que rezam velhos autores.

É preciso viver com os homens
é preciso não assassiná-los,
é preciso ter mãos pálidas
e anunciar O FIM DO MUNDO.

In this episode we are going to learn 【Afternoon tea】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
