bigdanio Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have just noticed that my languages are as follows: English, Portugese, Italian, Spanish Now, I am English in game so that explains the first one. I managed Brazil for 4 years which explains Portugese. I am currently managing in Italy so that explains Italian. I have never managed in Spain. How have I learnt this language? From players?

bardock Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't think so because I've employed Spanish and French players and staff since the second season. I'm six seasons in with Port Vale and have not learned a single new language. It's probably to do with your stay in Brazil, but I don't understand why you'd learn Spanish.

bigdanio Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 It's probably not to do with my spell with Brazil, I have to say. I checked it since I left Brazil and back then I had just English and Portugese. It has appeared after I started managing in Italy, and after I became fluent in Italian. I think something to do with Portugese and Italian being similar to Spanish - but I would be interested to know if anyone would be able to identify the trigger here. Certainly the old idea that you only learnt a language when working in that country is incorrect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalMetro Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You can learn languages from your players, and vice versa. Clint Dempsey had a Norwegian manager in my save at some point in his career, and he learned basic Norwegian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardock Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Is learning a new language from staff random? I should've learned French or Spanish by now since I've had people who speak both Languages around me for 6 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BML Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Have you managed any Nations during your career? I managed to learn French after a couple of years in charge of Cameroon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giziar Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Have you managed any Nations during your career? I managed to learn French after a couple of years in charge of Cameroon. THIS. In my current (albeit FM10) save I have learned Maltese, Lëtzebuergesch & Spanish just by managing the main or U21 side of a nation. edit: When opening this topic I expected it to be a language learning lesson btw. The answer is "to eat". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdanio Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 No nation managed that would teach me Spanish - only been England and Brazil manager. I think we can then assume that you learn languages from players. Ole Solsjkaer was my assistant for years, but I never learnt Norweigen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
