Spanish is easy to get to a manageable proficiency level (60-80%). It would take you around one year of hard study or 2-3 years of deedicated but not hard study. To get to 100% fluency it's almost impossible though, verbs, conjugations and small details are shit.

That said, Cervantes is written in old spanish, which is pretty different, and Borges' vocabulary is incredibly expansive, but understandable
