While I realise your questions are serious, they really fall into the
category of how long is a piece of string. So many variables, from aptitude to
frequency of flying lessons; it's a very personal thing and differs from one
person to another.
Two things, the more frequently you fly the faster you will progress, and if
you want to learn to fly gliders, start and stick with them - just do it.
