All cherubs are taught two foreign languages from the day they arrive on campus.

The languages chosen for each agent depend upon their ethnicity.

For example, a fair skinned, fair haired trainee is likely to be taught a language such as Russian, while an agent of asian ethnicity might have to learn Urdu.

All CHERUB agents learn one language that uses a non-roman alphabet.

Children under the age of twelve have a remarkable language instinct and can usually become fluent in language within two years.

Cherubs who are recruited at age seven or eight are often fluent in three or more languages by the time they are old enough to qualify as agents.
