I think the best solution would be to have two sets of languages on
the background tab - one for 'starting languages', and one for
'further languages' that could be learned by spending points on the
Speak Language skill.

The thing I don't like about doing this is that you'd end up with 3
different 'speak language' skills if you wanted to speak 3 extra
languages, which would take up valuable space on the 'skills' screen,
in which space is already at a premium.
