Frame Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have been managing the Belgian club Genk for over half a year now but still haven't learned basic dutch. When managing in other countries such as Denmark and Mexico I have learned the languages much faster. Won't I learn dutch because I already speak French (My manager nationality is Swiss) and therefore the game think I don't need to learn it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsportsfan Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 ha ha and my manager learned Russian in a year. How unrealistic, its one of the toughest languages in the world. It makes German grammar seem as easy as esperanto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollekewol Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yes, Flemish is a dialect, we are supposed to speak Dutch (Belgium, The Netherlands and Suriname form a language union). There should be some changes in the manager languages soon though! I took over as England manager and one of the first questions was: you do not speak English, will this form a problem? Considering we study English at the age of 15 and we do not dub our movies/shows/... I'd say my English is good enough to manage a national team! It would be great if you could make up your own profile instead of the standard profiles SI gives. I'm from Belgium and the least I should be able to speak when graduating high school is: Dutch (my mother tongue), French (second official language, start studying at age 10 I believe), German (third official language, start studying at age 14/15, but I admit I only have a basic knowledge of this, they should start studying this much earlier) and English (at age 15/16). Also, some students take up courses in Spanish during their high school, they should be able to include this in their profile too! Not to mention those that go to college/uni and start studying languages... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
