I use six ranks for languages (being a shadowrun player, like the rank above but rank 6 allows you to speak dialect), and for non- native languages you need ranks in the skill "read/write language". So, yes, it does take a few levels to be able to speak a language perfectly, but it takes a lot of effort to learn how to write a language perfectly, but if you think it unfair i dare you to try and learn how to write german or latin perfectly. It'll take you a few years, never mind japanese or chinese. You get half your ranks in a related language (like german-dutch) for free, and related languages to a native language or a langauge in wich you have 5 ranks are considered class skills. It is always quite a laugh to have leave players stranded in an area where noone understands a word they say.
