Hi Kamil,
You will be loaded on to a 18 month language course, where you will spend the duration learning a new language from scratch. You will then be tested at the end of this 18 month period to see how well you have learnt the language.
Dependent on your ability, you will be given a bounty as a reward as well as linguist pay for every day you use your language!
I Hope this helps
