Yes, the OP won't need to worry about this on a 1 month course.

You could probably say the same thing for most Canadians who were forced into a FSL course for 12+ years and only know how to read at a grade school level.
(The way they teach these things really doesn't help when I don't think about verb tense/conjugation when speaking/writing English or Chinese.)
OP-if you have any questions/concerns you can PM me for more info
