I can understnad riding since you sorta shift your body and learn as you ride.
But language?  Give me a mexican worker coming here and it takes him
years just to learn 'where is the bathroom'.  :)
As to survival I tend to think thats a USE skill in that if your with no food
and water you roll the skill to survive not just walking through a valley you
automatically get a point of experience.  Unless you just happen to
notice a spear trap before you fall in then yes.  But just walking around no.

Dunno.  Never looked inot it either way.  Rather in the first manner.
