Jordan pauses for a moment (less than an action, it is barely a second) as his brain processes the alien spy database he was grown with, a database that contains all languages on the planet he was assigned to (Earth). He then speaks fluently in that language, as if he had always known it. Because the database in his DNA always had.
As Jordan continues to awaken from a sleeper agent into an active agent, he may unlock sections of this database that are currently locked off from him…such as knowledge of alien languages, and of creatures outside his primary assignment of infiltrating human society. Now he has continued along that reawakening, and so alien portions of this database have unlocked as well.
