The suggestion I made tells others that you have actively studied the subject.

If you want to say that you have studied actively, but sporadically, you would say something like:

"Jag har väl studerat Svenska lite till och från under typ 10 år nu"

That is a causal way of saying it.

If you have only passively learned the subject, I would phrase it like this:

"De senaste 10 åren har jag hört och läst mycket Svenska, och har då lärt mig en del."

This puts focus on how you were exposed to a subject and what you learned from it

"till och från" is a new one for me, so thank you. I would have used "här och där".

The last formulation makes perfect sense to me. I like to think I could even have written it.

Tusentack för att du tog tid för att förklara lite.
