How many of the crew would select a course in extraImperium linguistics? It seems to me this line of thinking is what created C3PO.

Absolutely. 90% of non-combat time on a ship is maintenance and drills; and drills would necessarily cover all of the functions of a ship people have to learn it somehow, and simulations would be very important for this.
Also, time in jump would likely be spent on a host of learning activities for the crew: training for different positions, advancement, promotions, OCS,etc etc.
