I would give it 10 out of 10 on my personal assessment
of practicability.

After having been in Chichester for some days I do notice, that I have „Brushed up“ a lot. When back at home
after not having talked to native speakers regularly for
some time I found out that I often had to search for
words to express what I wanted, it seems I have switched to speaking English fluently again. That`s just what
I had wished for.
