As your level increases, more languages appear to be trained. I check
back every few levels to see if any additional ones appeared. A few came
in at 5, then a few more around 10, more still somewhere between 10 and
20, and at 20 most of the "standard" race languages were available for
training (gnomish, elvish, etc). I'd love to train them someday, but no
doubt it would take a while by someone who does know it (don't know if
it's possible to raise skill simply by speaking in it). After about 20
minutes of nonstop spamming from a 6-line /g social, my Elvish is "very
good."

Note that you must zone before language improvements take effect, at least
from learning by ear.

And you wondered what to do with all your practice points. -.-
