Thank you for your reply.
It will indeed take months and months to learn a new language. In fact it took me years and years just to learn English

Unfortunately I don't know Spanish either
I'll look at the link you sent. Many thanks.
My CRS is 403

and I'll lose 10 points on my next birthday

hence the panic about padding up my score through any means possible.
Good luck to you. Hope you get an ITA soon.
