could - s.o.s.

Hello,
Do you think the following sentence is correct?
After four months living here, I could understand quite a lot of Spanish.
I know that instead of could, can or be able to are correct. But is "could" correct?

Thanks.
Rosy

Yes, but it refers to a past context, like this one. I have lived here for 9 months. After four months living here, I could understand quite a lot of Spanish, so the last 5 months have been easy.
