Grec Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just bought this kid, not knowing that he was some kind of a Da Vinci. He learned dutch within six days, a real wonderkid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeast Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Are you sure he couldnt already speak dutch before he joined you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleen! Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow, that's quick! I'm not sure if this is implemented in the game, but did you agree to sign him a few months before the transfer went through, so maybe he started learning it while still at his previous club?

Grec Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 I contracted him in november, but I wanted to sign him at the end of the season. Maybe he took some lessons in those months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackant Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah Steve McClaren thought he could speak Dutch in a few days too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeXe Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah Steve McClaren thought he could speak Dutch in a few days too. He probably watched Goldmember and thought that's how you do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he was wondering how everyone understood Goldmember without subtitles as he was speaking Dutch of course. And thanks for the screenshot. He certainly is good.

heathxxx Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Don't quote me on this, but I'm sure I read somewhere (might have been in the updates), that a player who has agreed to a move will begin learning the language between the time he agrees and the time he actually joins a club. Of course if your bloke joined immediately, then I've absolutely no idea other than he's clearly gifted with languages or has some excellent learning material...

wwfan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 He starts to learn the language the moment he signs the contract. A player who is very adaptable will be almost fluent before he arrives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANNY1000000 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think the language learning is a good feature then, would also be good if they could learn off the cuff (say they wanted a move to england) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 He starts to learn the language the moment he signs the contract. A player who is very adaptable will be almost fluent before he arrives.

Beware Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Adaptability shouldn't have anything to do with learning new languages imo. Yeah, I think it absolutely should. Adaptability is the ability to change yourself to new situations, not just football related ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Adaptability shouldn't have anything to do with learning new languages imo. I think it should. Some people simply can't do other languages while others pick it up very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yep, you're right. How did you know that? Favoured personnel? Yes, the city of birth alone, for example, wouldn't have been enough as there are other clubs in Rio and Rio de Janeiro-born newgens show up outside Rio as well.

PMLF Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Quick question at the risk of de-railing the topic, are you happy about the lack of variety in the names of Brazilian regens? Not really, and this is something that we have been trying to improve, there is for example a lack of nicknames like those that end with -inho (ex: Ronaldinho) and regional-based nicknames (like Juninho Pernambucano, to use a real life example, Pernambucano meaning he is from Pernambuco, a state in Northeastern Brazil). I think though the situation right now is better than it was a couple of versions ago when there were many newgens without common names, which was very unrealistic.
