Hello, teachers.

Is the following sentence acceptable?

"Even if I took an intensive course of English and study for eight hours a day, I would'nt be able to memorize everything I would have learned. I think learning a foreign language and having it stay in my head requires continual study at least for a year. "

Thank you in advance!

A few changes:

"Even if I took an intensive course in English and studied for eight hours a day, I would'nt be able to memorize everything I learned. I think learning a foreign language and having it stay in my head requires continual study for at least a year. "
