How long would take you to learn a new language? I mean, getting from a basic few spoken words to a perfect writing/reading/speaking?
I for one, got it in couple of years of study and/or practice. Maybe I'm dumb lol

A life time for me. I just can't remember enough to string a sentence together. I did find when I was in Germany I was more able to speak when necessary, but found it very hard to understand. So being in the Country helps, if the people in the Country are wiling to let you try (I once tried to learn in Cyprus and they wouldn't let me, as they were so proud of their English). From text books... forever and a day and no can do!
If you really want to learn another language,you need to be in the cou try itself.

It really depends on how you're taught the language. Most people in this country study Irish at an ideal age to learn one for around six years in primary school but most still couldn't hold a conversation after they come out of school. The best way to learn quick is through immersion in the language. Interacting with people on a daily basis that are already fluent, forcing yourself into situations where it has to be used is going to be far more beneficial than book learning. Rosetta Stone online program is suppose to be very good and works through immersing you in the language. I believe alot of schools are now using it as a teaching aid.
Shortly, is it possible to reach (almost) perfection in 3 months starting from very basic ?

Depends what language it is as well
My Russian - 8 years, my German - about 6 years, English - 4 years.
Rosetta Stone is good; immerse in language - podcasts, TV, radio, plenty of free stuff on the net
