This was tested and confirmed in Mythbusters. A person with no flight training can land commercial aircraft whilst being talked down by a pilot.

5. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.

A British Spy spent 3 years in Germany during WW2 without being able to speak any German when he left. He is a bit of a cult legend.
