Talk about an exercise in futility- Spanish is a comparatively simple language and most of the kids in my high school second-year Spanish class could barely speak it at all.
Most of that is because of how foreign languages are taught. For most languages we don't get out of the present tense until second year and don't get into the complex tenses until 3rd or 4th. So by the end of 2nd year Spanish most kids haven't dealt with command form or future perfect, hard to truly speak a language on half the tenses.
