You may have written that in a humorous way, but I already though about this a lot, and I'm pretty sure that if the language teacher you summon is about a language you already know a bit, even if you won't learn anything new, you will practice it.

For instance, I can write in english without much problem, but when going to talk, it's a bit harder (I can't delete or stop to think too much). So if I talk english in my lucid dreams, probably I'll get more practice. It's just something I think, because I haven't been able to test it yet... hope to do it some day.

Replying to the muskee, I also think that if you set real physic laws on your dreams, you could try to do some special jumps, similar to those on park-our for instance. The problem is that you may "practice" the movements to try to feel them on your body, but.... will your muscles be able to do the same in the real world?

Stretching, strenght, etc. are very important. You can dream you swim perfectly, but real water will have real resistance. This is a good example, as professional swimmers often practice movements outside water, just so their brain "remembers" the movements to do on water (something that can be achieved in a dream if you ask me), the problem is that they also build up their strenght and, while on water, they have a trainer correcting wrong movements.

So I think that yes, you can practice or even learn things you saw or know a bit about, but it's more a "test" than real learning. Like letting yourself fall on your front for a huge faceplant. You obviously won't try it in the real world, but you may learn how it feels if you do it on a dream (maybe it will also hurt!)

Just my two cents.
