learning English

We just brought home a 6-year-old boy from Ukraine on Christmas Eve. For those that have adopted older children, how long did it take before they started speaking English? He's using certain phrases, such as "thank you" and "may I be excused", but that's about it. He talks up a storm, and I can't wait to know what he's saying! Someone told me within 60 days we should be communicating pretty well (basic words); does your experience say the same?

Thanks!
