Mm. Learning from elementals and spirits is a bit trickier than magic in our respective worlds I imagine. I think you'll be able to do it! I've seen people with no magic talent and their world devoid completely of magic learn from the spirits. So I'm sure you'll be able to as well. It just, ah, takes awhile is all. My advice for contacting them is usually along the lines of meditation, but it varies from person to person I'm afraid.
