I did something the other night that I've been meaning to get to for some time now.
A couple weeks ago I was in T-Steppes and found myself unable to get the quest for 24/7 access to the bridge. Problem was the quest giver is Halasian and I didn't speak Barbie!
So, during some non-adventuring down time earlier this week, I took my main (and a couple alts), on a whirlwind tour of all the villages in Qeynos, intent on learning to speak every language I could.
Final cost was 1g 20s per character, (12s X 10 languages). And the ultimate benefit is that I can now take on any quest, no matter what language the quest giver speaks.
In each village, you will need to visit whichever NPC sells app 2 spells in that village. This is often an apothacary or an alchemist. And in most cases, the spell shop is marked on your in-game map with a scroll. Just scroll down the merchant list, buy the book and move on. You will now know that language.
Here are the locations/languages of all 10 languages for those of you who want to do this:
Castleview - Guktan & Koada'Dal (Froglok & High Elven)
Greystone - Dwarven & Halasian (Barbarian)
Nettleville - Kerran
Starcrest - Erudian
Baubleshire - Gnome & Stout (Halfling)
Willow Wood - Ayr'Dal & Fier'Dal (Wood Elven & ?)
Took less than an hour and now everyone in Qeynos speaks common!

The other one in WW is Half Elf 
*Half Elves have the best of both worlds*
And of course you can learn other languages, like giant, orc and fairy from zone quests.
Great list OBD

Can the books be shared or aret they "no trade?"
Zoobecca wondered:
Ummm... neither!
You never actually get the books. It works sort of like a quest update in that you pay the NPC for it and you instantly have the knowledge. So there is no item, per se, in your inventory to right click on and use.
So, no you can't share them... each character has to make the rounds and get theis own set of language skills.

Yeah, this is a good idea. And, if you are able to fund a new alt to afford all of these books at the beginning you can get a few new quests in town as well. I now have taken one of my alts through every quest in Qeynos available under level 15 and I was able to get to level 14 without leaving town and had a gold and a half and plenty of armor.
I always mean to do that, but I forget. Let's see if I can remember to do this by the time I get home and log on.
don't bet on it.
don't bet on it.
I bought a couple of books last night but forgot one thing. How do I know which books I have allready studied? Is this listed under skills or somwhere?
If you go to the chat box and type /lang -or- /language it will tell which ones you already know.
