My French is not too bad. Got a reasonable vocab and I can recall how the verbs conjugate (mostly) So I can speak it to a extent where a Frenchman can understand me.
The problem is when they reply I haven't got a scooby what they are saying. They have to slow things right down and add in sign language before I can even get the gist. Not got the ear for it you see. Same with playing musical instruments. I can play guitar and I used to be able to play piano and violin. But I am/was crap at them. You got to be born with some talent in those areas to be good at it.

I lived abroad for 7/8 years and still could not speak the language, only a few words to help get by.

I already type in a different language. Isn’t that enough?

If you watch old muppets episodes you could probably pick up some basics off of the Swedish Chef.
