ok but zira’s flawless japanese and then awkwardly spoken french in the flashback later on has me wondering. do all angels inherently know every single language or did he teach himself? because if so, did he focus on the ones he thought would be the most useful or were there a few consecutive years in which crowley found him holed up in different libraries every day just going fucking ham on stacks upon stacks of translation dictionaries

more importantly, do angels have the ability to give themselves understanding of any language when desired, but he made the effort to learn them on his own because he wanted the knowledge to be authentic
