Being Scottish and managing a Spanish side, shouldn't I be learning Spanish? As in "Spanish (basic)" like my assistant? Or do I just sit on my arse and let him deal with the foreigners?

You get Spanish (basic) after a while in Spain, you won't have it when you step off the plane. How long have you been in Spain?

]steffelliott[

2 and a half months

skanky

give it at least a season, i wouldnt expect anyone to be fluent in spanish in 2 and a half months!

im an englishman in new yor-rrk. oh oh im an alien.
yes steffelliot it would take a little longer than that to learn spanish. cristiano has been in england for over two years now and he still talks like an idiot

He is an idiot though, I'm not. I'd like to think after 2 and a half months I'd be able to speak basic Spanish. Obviously it's not crucial or anything, I just wondered about it.
