Even some comparatively minor talents might be hard to learn if there is no one in the region to pass along the knowledge. Seeking out a teacher for a desired skill can be a quest unto itself.

Whatever works and seems best for the game situation, and how important it is for the character to learn the talent. I've done both, with the same characters in the same campaigns, to fit what's going on and what people want to do.
