Someone asked about which language angels speak? Well as far as beings go in general, from my personal experiences (and the experiences of others I have talked to so far) if they have been working with humans for some time that speak english, most of them have english down very well. However if you run into a being that does not interact with humans much they may not know english at all, or very little english. I have found that Latin and Enochian seem to be more common than english in many cases. The onlly trouble is if you start speaking to them in Enochian for axample, unless you know a good deal of words in Enochian (don't worry there are only about 500) then you would get lost very quickly. There are also specific languages that are only known to the beings of that sort (well for the most part).
If there is a language barrier, mental images and an empathic link can help.
Howver getting specific names is difficult. If for some reason Enochian does work and you know the alphabet well enough, you could have the being show you one letter at a time (as the angels did with Dee and Kelly) until you have the complete name, or maybe a word or 2 you can look up later.
I have sometimes found it quite intresting how a being's concept of things and mine can be quite different. Well this make sense, being from different planes of existance and all (IMG:

I have found a pendalum to help with yes or no questions during evocation etc. once in awhile. And I have also found that quite often a being will give you a bit of a puzzle for you to work out and do the research for, so that you will be learning material that correlates with their teachings while you are at it (IMG:

Ok well it's late and I'm rambling lol, hopefully not everyone is asleep by end end of this one!
