You know the old saying "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? To me this is really the secret of shadowrunning, being such a fragging amazing hammer that you can drive a soyburrito into a concrete wall ... and hopefully being in a toolbox with an awesome screwdriver, a fantastic wrench, and an all-star socket set.
You don't hammer anything with language skills (or with perception, the more frequent skill that causes this issue). Languages might help hold a nail in place so that you can hit it square, or even arrange for a nail instead of a rusty bolt or the aforementioned soyburrito, and sometimes they may even help put in some putty to cover the dent that you made in the wall. but you don't hammer anything with language skills.
First figure out what your hammer is, then figure out the nice-to-haves around it.
Disclaimers: trying to hammer soyburritos through concrete walls will make an awful mess, don't do this at home or at the home of anyone you want to stay friends with. Also do not interpret "hammer" to necessarily mean violence, it is any means of overcoming people who are (quite correctly) trying to stop you from doing your job (charm, intimidation, bribery, turning them into turtles, taking away their free will, or sending fake orders to their commlink are all perfectly reasonable hammering-type activities)
