I've been studying for about 2 months (group classes once a week). How long did it take you to feel okay having a short conversation in Russian?

It varies by person, but with weekly practice most students can handle very simple conversations (greetings, introductions, basic questions) after 3–4 months. Consistency matters more than speed.

For me it was around 4 months. First real "win" was ordering food in Russian at a restaurant. Felt great!
