You are of course right and that little change will be made. The reason I did this as an ability is because I wanted to make it easier for Wilderness Scouts to learn a language. Granted in the Core Rules all you have to do is spend the skill points to learn the language. However, some people might require a little more from their characters before they learn a language. Learning a Language is not an easy thing to do. The point of the ability is that Wilderness Scouts learn languages faster and easier then others.
I can see this as an extrodinary ability IMC for exactly the reason you mention. I know a Sorcerer IMG who would have loved that ability.
