Specialization: You get 2 specializations for free and can use a stunt to get more. Specializations only are used for Overcomes, never for attack/defend/create advantage.

Some Specializations are Expertise where you get a +1 in that specific situation (Survival - Forest, Rapport - Opposite Sex, Drive - Airplanes, etc.).

Other specializations are Required. You have to have that specialization to use the skill (If you're trying to decipher hieroglyphics, you have to have Academics - Egypt to do it).

Languages: You get your base language. If your aspect suggests a second language (French resistance fighter), you get that language. Your maximum of Academics or Lore gives you bonus languages equal to the ranks.
