The Eagle Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 How can you teach your foreign players to learn a language. My foreigners are handicaped to learn Turkish. Except Holosko none of my foreigners speak Turkish. Some of them are my team for 4 years, but still having hard time to communicate. Ok I don't expect them to speak fluently :-)), but at least they shouldn't have hard time to communicate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemlfc Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Adaptation comes into it. I speak four languages fluently and I'm learning a further two. I know how to learn a language and Turkish is up there with the hardest. Languages are based on a rank (I think 1 - 20) of difficulty. Franck Ribery doesn't speak German yet he's been at Bayern for years now. Luca Toni on the other hand speaks fantastic German. German isn't THAT hard of a language to learn. All depends on the individual and I think adaptation comes in to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's a very difficult language to learn, so it will take a long time for them to pick it up. I think a player's "adatability" stat has some effect on their ability to learn the language, so it might be worth looking at that. I would have thought after 4 years, though, some of them would have at least "basic Turkish" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eagle Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't expect them to speak fluently with a perfect grammar. However I expect them not to have language barrier while playing after 4 years. Come on how many words do we use when we play football? Pass the ball, Leave it to me, I am coming, Shoot(same in most language), Cross the ball. Most of these could be established by body language as well. I can understand; if they can't pick girls with the language they speak after 4 years :-)). But this is football we're talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
