Angels who are assigned to earthly duties need to learn the language. Some
Archangels have in-house teachers for commonly used languages, but when an
angel needs a rare language, or wants to sharpen his skill, he goes to
Yves' school.
The Heavenly School of Human Languages is in the hands of Enoch, the
Mercurian Scholar of Human Languages. His servitors are charged with
maintaining their knowledge of languages as they evolve, preserving
dialects and languages as they pass out of use, and passing on their
knowledge to all who need it. There are a surprisingly large number of
human souls teaching in the School, since they, who have /lived/ in a
language, are felt to understand it in ways that are difficult for Angels.
In heaven, the school is situated "behind" Yves' Library. While its own
texts and records serve for many purposes, it's often necessary to search
the Library for examples of language and its development. Randolf, the
Seraph Angel of Dictionaries, frequently provides aid to the school, and
seeks its help almost as often.
If different languages and their acquisition become important to a
campaign, use the GURPS rules for learning them, and so on, via G:IN.
