2ndary
sources. GRA, Rosh have stated similarly on the  record

I don't know how you're defining "understand" but you most certainly can  
keep the halachos of kashrus, Shabbos and so on in your home if you know  Kitzur 
Shulchan Aruch (or even if you have learned halachos mimetically at your  
mother's knee, as girls did for doros -- "al titosh Toras imecha"), and if you  
have a rav you can turn to with shailos when something unusual comes  up. 
 
I very much hope that if you came to visit me, you would trust my kashrus  
even though I've never learned Gemara.
