Does this make sense?

"Sin su ayuda, no sería capaz de hablar español como lo hago ahora."

The original sentence is English is "Without your help, I would not be able to speak Spanish like I do now."

A conditional clause without a past subjunctive clause in this type of sentence sounds a little unnatural. And it may sound redundant, but hablo would sound better than hago, hence: Si no fuera por su ayuda, no sería capaz de hablar español como lo hablo ahora.
