What potent potions~! You get to have a potion that instantly gives you mastery in something you haven't already trained. What flavor is it, what skill does it give you, and are there any side effects?

hmmm, i took german for 3 years in high school, so idk if that counts as something i've trained. but i'd love to be a polyglot with ideally all the languages, it's one of those "realistic" superpowers (obv not all languages) that i've always wanted to have. if not all languages, then ig dutch and/or italian would be priorities for me

i have a feeling it'd have a rather intense flavour, probably a combination of the most popular food(s) from the regions where each language is primarily used

side effects: lower proficiency in starting language(s), easy to mix up languages in conversation
