Scout can't learn languages?

[dave88 (Inactive)]

So, I heard the best way to scout if you send a scout to a country what's language is spoken by him. But I can't find any useable guy who can speak japanese for example. I send one to Japan, he is there since 3 years and still can't speak basic japan. So, is there any way for a scout to learn languages, or he just live there without the capability to learn at least some words?

Have you searched for a scouter with nationality of Japanese? IDK where that coming from about "language", but a scouter which has zero knowledge of X country must be send it as "Until Finished" assignment. Ongoing is to maintain that knowledge.

1. High adaptability helps with languages. Might be a coded line that Japanese is one of the hardest language in the world so it might take longer to learn (but I doubt this one is implemented to FM).

2. Is he a real-life staff member or a newgen? Some newgen scouts known to be bugged (specifically those, who have 0 country scouting knowledge of their own nationality). For those I can imagine they will not have capability to learn the language neither. If you post a screenshot of his staff/attributes/scouting knowledge tab, it can be verified.

3. The J-League is not playable in the base game, sending a scout there on an assigment is pretty pointless as the scout will not be able to "watch" any match (maybe the WC/Asia qualifiers for the Japan team few times a year). Hence not gaining knowledge/maybe not gaining language knowledge neither? The guy who is there for 3 years, does he have 100% Japanese scouting knowledge or a few % - gained only from the national team matches?

4. As previously mentioned, set the assignment to "Until finished" and do not leave it at "On-going". 

The language and adaptability is only helping to gain % knowledge in the scouted country faster and not to generate more reports within the given time as far as I know. Based on this I expect for a Hungarian scout with 100% Germany country knowledge with basic German language skills will generate the same report within the same time period as a 100% Germany knowledge, fluent German speaking scout from Germany if all their key attributes (professionalism, determination, JPA/JPP, suriprisingly discipline) are the same.

Hmm, maybe this should be a suggested feature: sending scouts on intensive language courses (since coaches can go for coaching badges, but scouts have no use for those.)  If players can be sent on language courses, why can't scouts?

Here is the guy. I downloaded (or add cause i use the steam version) the japanese league. Btw its the same problem with any vanillia league.
