Yes, but one can't forget the benefits of practice with reading & writing a language - it certainly helps with spelling, you see.

If you want to speak the language , then practice makes perfect. Although I was taught English from a very young age by my father , I did not meet my first English speaker until I was 18. My written English has always been good , my spoken English bad. You have to develop an ear for the sounds and the ability to form the sounds from a very early age. Listening and speaking are the only ways to do this.
Do not be scared. Jump in and start speaking to the native speakers of your chosen language. Progress can be swift.

Of course! Live in the country whose language you want to learn and stay there for a year!

Yes, but you are in serious need of some work on your spelling and writing. In your case speaking is clearly not enough if you want to claim a knowledge of English, at least.

I think you need to travel to the country whose language you are learning & try to get by without resorting to English. We Brits are the worst offenders for not learning other languages. Everyone learns english so I think it is a bit cheeky for us not to bother.

Yes. Total immersion in the culture is by far the best way of learning. And you can learn grammar and spelling too.

Yes. You need to listen to the language you want to learn as much as possible and try to use the language as much as possible, either by going to the country or joining one of their clubs in your country. Watch their TV channels or listen to their radio programmes and read, read, read.

Yes, writing, reading, listening, and speaking are all equally important

You MUST get your English grammar right before you start any language learner.
