We are very honoured to welcome Pierce Kiembi to Turves Green Boys’ School this week. Pierce is a UEFA qualified coach and the co-director of Fútbol Lingo. Fútbol Lingo is an app which helps players from other countries to learn languages that will help them in their careers. Pierce speaks French, German, Lingala, Spanish and English. Pierce has been working with Year 9 and 10 pupils this week. He gave a talk on the importance of languages in the world of football and explained how being bilingual can help in all areas of the football world. After the talk, boys were given a practical coaching session in French, to help them understand the key language terms needed to succeed. Well done to everyone who took part. A special mention goes to C Zammit in Year 10 for his high level of engagement throughout the talk. Well done!
