That is almost two years.
Probably you can do at least basic (or even deeper) conversations in French, depending on how you learn the language.
For example I spent many (around 7-10) years, starting from the middle school (2007) to learn every day English, and this is how I write this comment.
Your English is excellent. I did french at school, but didn't retain much. I started again when we were going to Quebec and kept going. I need opportunities to use it to really get fluent.
