Итак, если мы берем с нуля и до устойчивого Интерм, то сколько это стоит?
Ответ - выучить язык стоит примерно 200 тысяч рублей и три года жизни.

Сюда, думаю, стоит прибавить проезд (если это не дистанционные занятия), учебники (даже если вы их дома распечатываете). Думаю, это еще прибавит примерно 30000 за 3 года.
А вот кол-во часов с преподавателем я бы считала по-другому. Берем таблицу примерного кол-ва guided hours для уровня intermediate. Это 400 часов. Умножаем: 400*700=280000
Here I'm going to share some thoughts regarding [mention]mikka[/mention]'s question, not joining the discussion that is already five pages long and has been dragged far away from the topic in question, which is
the cost - the cost you have to pay to achieve B1.
The option of a university education mentioned there should be excluded as absolutely irrelevant to Mikka's request - no way is she considering making linguistics her profession if I get it right.
Other answers, suggesting either self-study or 1-2-1 learning, give the figures from zero to 200-280 thousand RUR respectively, the former being a bit too optimistic, not including the price of any materials and other spendings.
Being a desperate eclectic, I wouldn't join either of the parties and would rather suggest a "third decision", that is, a combination of learning in a group with self-study. Hope it might be a sort of compromise and fit someone's needs.
Anyone can do the calculations themselves if they look at the curriculum and the price list of any established language school they tend to trust. What you would very likely find there, is 60-70 hours to go through the
Beginner level, and then 100-140 hours to cover each of
Elementary, Pre-Int. and Intermediate levels with prices depending on the place you're based in.
Now, just a suggestion.
No matter how strongly the school encourages you, you don't have to take all the courses one after another with just days or even a week in between. It
could be more beneficial if you take
a series of intensive one-month-long courses with breaks as long as 2-2.5 months in between, during which you no way stop, but keep going with your studies in an "autodidactic" mode, so appreciated by many people here.
Why could it be beneficial?
First of all, it might be much easier to arrange all your personal/professional issues so that they won't distract you from giving your full attention to the classes if they last one month rather than 3-4 months as the usual duration is, in case of a common twice-a-week schedule.
Besides, many of us are more used to working more intensively for a short period of time with a relatively quieter period to follow.
As for the seemingly too long breaks in between, the reason is that you need some time to digest the input: there can be no shortcuts here, you just can't do it faster than you really can. If you try to - the most likely result would be you forget everything you've learnt as fast as you've gained it.
Besides - and it is of vital importance - these breaks is a high time to "personalise" your learning to meet your demands and interests.
By the time you go back to your classes, ready to go on, you'd have revised and recycled what you'd learnt. What if more, you would definitely have some questions emerged during your solo sail that might need the teacher's help or, maybe you would come up with some guesses and observations of your own that might need re-affirming or rejection - and again, the teacher will help you with it.
And, last but not least, going back to classes will help you track your progress and reassure you that you're on the [right] go.
Hope it will be of some help.
