This is how you learn a language. This is how you adapt to your environment.
At each level of saltiness of water, almost until it is completely saturated, there are life forms adapted to it. There are freshwater fish that want almost no salt at all, and there are seawater fish that need at least 30 grams of salt for each litre of water. For these levels and each level of brack water in between, there is life for which this environment works.
At each level of knowledge of a language, there is an environment where that level works. You may not be able to say more than "one beer, please", but it is a phrase that works in a bar. You may not be able to spell properly, but you may anyhow be able to discuss the current political situation in Belize. Then, feel free to discuss Belize. Look for the situations that work with your level of brack water. Practice what you know. Without practice you will never succeed.
You may not be able to write elegant sonnets in the foreign language, but you may at least be able to write blogs.
