So how did i learn Arabic

Ok ive been manageing Rangers for over 4 years now, since the start of the game. Ive never been to an Arabic for a tour or anyhting nor have i signed any players who speak Arabic. Yet as you can see from this screenshot i can speak Arabic. How the hell.

Naturall Talented , What about Feeder clubs?

You've obviously been taking night classes

nearest feeder club is China. I did manage Morocco for 6 games, but im sure that would be French.

Liking the sound of night classes

In Morocco they do speak Arabic aswell as French. Generally neither of them is a dominant language, they are both learnt as a child. Arabic though, is essential to the religion of the country so therefore maybe it is seen as more important.

Morocco is an arabic country therefore the official language is Arabic.

So it seems we have found the reason. Otherwise I would have guessed it's a second nationality which was set without noticing.

Yeah, Morocco is an Arab country (at least in terms of the elite). Arabic and French share official language status, though the majority of Moroccans speak Berber.

There you go, you've found you're hidden talent.

I think I remember you wardog from that website, The SSF.

Yep. You learnt it from Morocco.

But that is awfully quick to learn a language. I was in charge of Greece for almost 6 months before I got Greek (basic) to show up on my profile, and after 2 years it finally said I'd mastered the language. Are some managers just slow?

There also another problem, you're world class?

Yea you probably would do lol.

So 6 games amanageing a nation you master the lanuage. If thats the case i think ill apply for the next Japan or China job get all the hardest lanuages of the world lol.

Feeder clubs or 2nd Nationality!

Must be that manager off of the new Harry Enfield show!

Wild stab in the dark, but are you an arab?

No im Scottish. thought the screen shot showed that. And feeder club been answered. Im thinking like a number of others it my short space of ime i spent at morocco.

I was joking btw. You have to remember a short space of time in International Management is probably over a season in club terms, i.e. it might only be 6 games, but in Int Man those 6 games are spread over 18 months. That gives plenty of time to learn the language.

Yea but i have no Morroccan Knowledge. Also I have 50% finnish Knowledge, No second nat, No feeder clubs that way, no management(only left scotland for Morocco), no coaches that way, nor any players. Im so confused at why i know about a league i never loaded. I now understand why i know Arabic.

other nationality?

Did you have anyone with Finnish nationality or league experience in your staff when you were managing Morocco?

no. When i load the game ill start taking screenshots. Nearest staff i had to Finnish was Gred Muller before he retired. Once i load the game(prob shortly) ill get he screenies and post them up.

You lose the knowledge of nations you have managed a short while after you leave them.

The finnish knowledge comes from a in game fault I think.

My profile never has had Finnish on it in pervious games.

I think Mr. Frame might be on to something. Possibly.

My profile never has had Finnish on it in pervious games.

If Frame is right, your Finnish knowledge comes from an in-game fault.

Brahim Hemdani?

Brahim Hemdani?

What about him?

Hemdani how would he have any Finnish knowledge. Also i sold him first season.

What about him?

Does he not speak Arabic due to his Algerian backgroud?

i sold him first season

We've already worked out where the Arabic came from, though.

It's the knowledge of Finland that needs explaining.

No offense, but having managed Morocco and then wondering where Arabic came from is a bit embarassing, huh?

The knowledge of finnish can origin from plenty of reasons. The most reasonable is that you have a good relation with a manager who is/was managing there

or if your scout visited there wouldn't that boost your knowledge a bit!

Hey! Some of us knew why!

But not everyone knows much about Morocco.

Nope no scouts. Also know Russian but i get on well with Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrey Arshavin, also had Ankiveev for a year so i can justify that.

Screenshots.

more on next post wont let me post them all on this one

Wait. Ok last time i was at school they taught me Moroccans spoke French. And the majority of Africa spoke Swahili. Which i also learned a bit of IRL during a trip to Kenya, can only mind hello now though because it reminds me of a song.

Plus the fact i was only managing Marrocco for 6 games. I had managed Maderia in Poirtuagal for 4 seasons in a previos game and only knew basic Portugese. Dont tell me whats embarrasing. Ive suffered embarassing moments all my life, and this is just a bit of someone who knows to much against someone who doesnt really care about lanuages of the world apart from the little bit he learnt in school and he may need when on holiday.

Rest of the screenshots.

sorry again wouldnt let me post the rest.

and thats the last of them

Wait. Ok last time i was at school they taught me Moroccans spoke French. And the majority of Africa spoke Swahili.

I shudder to think what school you went to if that's what they taught you.

Morocco a former French colony, hense why they speak French. We where learning about Colonies at the time. The African thing i was a bit in a mood. IIRC it just a bit of west africa that speaks Swahili.

So i appoligise for the last post as well as i did go a little over board, hot tempered. Hense the name war dog.

My parents are Moroccan....people definitely speak Arabic over there. Second language is French.... which people learn in school and use regularly throughout life.

Thanks Julian. Makes more sence. Is the Finnish thing definetly a bug.

sometimes you learn the language of a country you manage quicker than other times, its just how the game works. in one of my old games i tried learning as many languages as i could by managing different countries to improve my CV. nice part of the game. poor countries though, i usually ditched them after i learnt the language.

not all. i stuck with turkey through even in the world cup and got them to the quarters or semis i cant remember. but yea, go out there and improve your CV! yes i imagine you got arabic from managing morrocco, i think it is a muslim country. and i think muslims speak arabic.

Think of it, Britain is very multi-cultural especially people coming from Pakistan, India and what not.

Think of it, aren't schools now starting to teach Arabic as well as Spanish in schools now?

Favoured staff tend to add scouting knowledge to you, but it doesn't display who your favoured staff are.

favored staff??

Thats all the staff ive had since i came except for Gerd Muller who retired two seasons ago.

I wouldnt know, i dropped French and German never mind thinking about any other lanuages. I think its also maybe a little differnt in the Borders compared to Glasgows and Londons. In the borders id been stunning to see someone from the middle east, honestly NOT MEANING THIS AS RASIST, but even the small newsagents are all British owned and only forien shop ive seen here in my lifetime remembers was a Polish Delhi thats now shut down. There about the only non brits here except for the Bangladeshi people who own the local Hotel lol.

I highly doubt that this was coded into the game. And anyway, Britain's largest minorities aren't Arabic-speaking. Pakistanis speak Urdu, Bangladeshis speak Bengali and Indians speak a variety of languages depending on which part of India they originate from. So I suspect your point is pretty irrelevant.
