Seems like comprehension, reading and writing are more important than speaking ability when learning the customary language.
Especially with Spanish, because once you know how to read and write Spanish, the rules for pronunciation are fairly consistent, unlike English. Rolling the rrs and pronouncing "v" almost like "b" are secondary considerations.
A lot of immigrants come here already having learned a great deal of English in their native country.
