I think it is more a thing of intelligence, WHAT you nderstand ,but a thing of will how mucho f that.
Like:
Int 1-3: Common + Own language
3-7: common + own + 1
7-11: common + own + 2
11-16: common + own + 3
16 - 18: common + own + 4
18 +: every language ig
Wil 1-3: No learning at all
3-7: Very, very slow learning. ( and i MEAN very slow! You'll need months to complete a language... )
7-11: slow - normal learning ( everything under 9 slow, above normal? )
11-16: Normal - Faster learning ( up to 13 normal, above 13 faster one)
16-18: Fast learning
18+: Very fast learning
This would be quite fair, imho...
EDIT @ Cain: This is just what we try to prevent in setting borders
So nub whining! *pats*
Hmm, i think maybe reverse, where intelligence decides the speed and willpower is how many, fi you thinka bout it. Willpower decides how many languages you can get yourself to learn, whereas intellgience decides how easily you can grasp ther concepts, and thus how quickly.

I don't think intellegence should have anything to do with it..
There is nothing "logical" about languages surely...

The name can be changed in different languages, yes, but you wouldn't call someone your langauge approximite of it. You'd call them by their original name. But place names could be different, yes.
I bet for a million dollars you cannot pronounce "Erik" the dutch way.

You'd better be joking. You're saying that brain power has nothing to do with learning?
wow

The "eh" is already wrong.

This isn't written down. If you think about it, if someone says "My name is Erik"; pronouncing Erik the dutch way, you'll call them Erik the dutch way, you won't call them the english way of saying it. Maybe you can pronounce it incorrectly if you see it written down, but if someone pronounces their name to you, you call them by what they told you, not by your language approximation of that or by how you would read it written down.

Shut up....If someones name in dutch is eh-rrrih (or whatever) and they live in the Netherlands (is that right?) you should respect how that is said.

*Hits his forehead*
Did you read a thing I said? I just said that if someone pronounces their name in the dutch way, you would also do that, you wouldn't pronounce it in the english way unless you'd only ever seen it written down.

But if you knew how it was pronounced in dutch, and they came from Netherlands, it is respectful to call the the dutch way.

Exactly, which is why you should be able to see character's names even if they're said in languages you don't understand.
