Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller has disclosed that it has not been easy for him to learn English since he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps in Major League Soccer.
The forward, who spent 25 glorious years at Bayern Munich, swapped the pressure cooker of the Allianz Arena for the scenic vistas of British Columbia in August.
Muller, whose English has always been functional but heavily accented with his native Bavarian twang, admitted that he arrived in Canada with high hopes of polishing his language skills to a near-native level.

“Honestly, I find myself despairing at the same things as I do at home,” Muller confessed in the interview with the club’s website.
“For example, I had firmly intended to actively work on my English skills with an app. I wanted to make an effort to get better quickly.
“In the end, I caught myself letting the days rush by. I even had enough time, but I am simply too lazy to use the app.
“I would put it this way: I don’t hold back with stupid remarks even in English, And garnished with grammatical blunders, they are certainly even a bit stranger than at home.”
