I remember when I was working at a summer job when I was in college at my
dad's work in Ma.  There was a guy there, Danny.  He taught
himself several languages.  What was odd, 'tho, is that he never got a
chance to practice any of them since he was strongly introverted; I never
spoke a word with him.

So, obviously, oral communication skills is definitely not a function of
language knowledge.  In fact, I could argue that it is a skill that cannot
be taught.
