Good enough to converse with the people (Host Nation) you work with in military and non-military situations. We practiced a lot on the Teams with each other and completed language lab training before we deployed.
The Host Nation personnel see that you are trying and offer assistance too when you're deployed. Think about someone from another country trying to speak english here in America. You were happy to help someone trying to learn your language.
There are a lot of funny moments trying to converse in a foreign language. What's important is that you try.
