David Moyes fails his on air Spanish exam

Real Sociedad manager David Moyes failed to pass his on-air Spanish exam when talking to 5 live Sport about life in La Liga.

Moyes said one of the biggest challenges has been the language barrier, and revealed he takes two Spanish lessons a week.

"It's difficult to communicate at times. I鈥檝e probably got eight or nine players that speak English, so that helps," said the 51-year-old.

"I have offered to do more lessons but my Spanish teacher says he doesn鈥檛 want me to go faster because it鈥檚 too difficult.鈥�

5 live's Mark Chapman asked what his favourite Spanish phrase was - "Don鈥檛 ask me that! These are the sort of moments where you get caught out and I鈥檓 trying not to get caught out at the moment!鈥� replied the former Manchester United boss.
