Use or learn or know a language
I've been learning English for more then 20 years.
But not until the recent tow years, I can not say that I speak English.
Before you can only say I "KNOW" English. Because, I maybe know the grammar, know a lots vocabulary, but I couldn't ask or answer a completed question even maybe I understood. And most of the time, I did not understand, especially when it comes to the very quickly, unclear pronounced daily conversation.
And how come I can say I speak English recently? Cuz, I "USE" English.
I went to aboard and lived aboard for tow years. I needed to use English. Even thought I can't speak a completed sentence, I still need to speak! Or else I would die. So, little by little, I started speaking English, and get the feeling of that I can speak English.
So, there is the little feedback of my two years aboard life,
when learning a language, use it! Or you're just know it.

'Cuz' is fine for texting and emailing friends, for example. Just remember 'cuz' is an informal way to write 'because'.
YES! I think this is great advice. Learn the language. Know the language. But be sure to use the language and definitely speak the language! I hope you had a great experience living abroad. My advice to you now is to continue using and speaking the language with lessons and/or language exchanges. YAY!

* I would rephrase this sentence, for example: But up until the last two years I could not say that I spoke English.
Well done! Keep speaking as much as you can :)
