I hadn’t realized! He doesn’t seem it. He’s likely too busy to take time out to give me lessons, but everyone has to eat dinner sometime, right? And make conversation during it?
[ Wild concept, though, to eat dinner with Flint. And talk to him. ]
He may or may not speak the language, though. I think it is hit or miss among the Tevinters who aren't academics. But that means you only need the accents to pass.

Have you talked to Benedict Artemaeus about Tevene? He used to offer lessons.

But it’s much better to have a few different people to speak with. You don’t really learn things well from just a single person.
