    For the purposes of language practice, a person's opinions or politics does not matter very much. However, I find that more open-minded people are more interesting to me than close-minded people. If someone is open to diversity, then they might be able to learn something new from an acquaintanceship or friendship.

    A crash course is a course in which you study a subject over a very short period of time. Generally speaking, it is difficult to retain knowledge which you study very quickly, because it does not get into your long term memory. However, sometimes people take crash courses when reviewing or studying for exams. A similar and related term is "cramming for an exam" which means that you try to review all of the material in a very short period of time.

    To put someone at rest means to give them confidence or make them feel comfortable or at ease. At the very least means the minimum action or the smallest thing that she might do to make him feel good.
