I never said that.
I spent several hours a week at Russian lessons. My Russian wasn't that great but I could order a meal at a restaurant and get what I ordered. I could climb into a taxi, speak Russian to the driver and arrive at my apartment. But for longer and more complex conversations we would speak English.
