Human manager spoken languages

A question comes to mind as I see I now speak danish after 6 seasons in Denmark : do spoken languages really help getting a job ?

If so, wouldn't it be nice to add a "2nd/3rd spoken language" field when creating a human manager profile ? You can only add a 2nd nationality... some people can speak english without being English (or other english speaking nationality). Or german or whatever.

you can speak other languages too, it just outs a comma after them, in my journeyman save i speak 7 languages

Of course but that's languages you've virtually learned during the game.

I'd like to start the game as a french manager speaking french and english, and knowing german basics.

Well, I surely have to meet the first frenchman that do speak fluent english or german. That would have been alot easier during my last holiday

I agree it's a bit odd that you can't do this. I'd like starting as German manager fluent in German and English fluency who also knows French and Japanese at a basic level.

I've seen a similar post and many of the forum users agreed that you should be able to add spoken languages and it should at least ease squad harmony or such

I always start as Hungarian nationality, in my last LLM game after 11 seasons I've been in Brazil, Portugal, Denmark and now Italy. I can speak (not in game) 4 languages Hungarian, Romanian, English and German. In the beginning It should help to get say a German 4th division based club to hire me and not to be only accepted by Brazilian state clubs (If you load Brazil and set your reputation to amateur, you quickly notice that Brazilian clubs will hire you faster then some other minor European team)

my manager is Polish and speaks Polish, English and German, like most of Poles in real life

Makes a big difference with job offers. I've found that if you start as an English manager but manage in a different country the job offers you get will come from England(assuming you've loaded those leagues up) which makes sense I guess.

Would be good to start the game multilingual though.

We should be allowed to choose what languages we speak at the begining of the save when making our profile.

I really don't understand why this isn't in the game already because the way it automatically assigns languages is stupid. I'm Estonian, so the game for some reason assumes I must speak Russian. Which I don't, at least not fluently. I also have to add English as a second nationality to be able to properly manage a British club because otherwise my manager persona can't speak a word of the language.

Once I took Belgian, They can speak a fair few languages.

But he will learn it over time...I've played a manager who could speak 5 languages....

I think that might be more to do with your reputation (in England vs Continent) than your spoken languages.

For some reaon, I also pick Belgian quite a few times .

In game we know Dutch/French/German (our official languages), but I don't know any German at all (except for fingerspitzegefühl then ).

My French is also quite basic. What isn't basic though is my English.

Southern-Belgians on the other hand barely know Dutch, French is their mother tongue.

So I'm all for picking your starting languages.

In my current game btw I know 10 languages .

I picked it cause I like their national team. Thought me being Belgian will help but Mr Dick never left

I sometimes add Italian as a second nationality to add that language to my belt, even though I'm not really part-Italian but I have a good grasp of the language.

If you manage a foriegn national team for a while I wonder if you can pick up different languages that way?

you do, at least for the time i have i've learned basic, i'd guess you learn it fluently too

Yes. You can learn a language fluently just by managing a foreign national team (or U21/U19 team for that matter).

In my current save (FM10 though) I managed to learn both Lëtzebuergesch & Maltese just by managing the respective U21 teams for a while.
