Yeah - I have no problem with Doug picking up a new language if he's immersed in it for any given time. After all, I picked up a few words of Japanese just from watching Anime ![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif)
However, I'd say he would have to be truely immersed in the language (like in Valdemar) for at least 2-3 months to acquire bsaic proficiency. OTOH, spending a year immersed in a society will usually result in basic fluency that doesn't go away later...
