Swansea City striker Jordan Ayew turns French tutor in South Wales

Published on: 19 October 2017

Swansea City striker Jordan has been teaching French at a Community school in South Wales.

The 25-year-old, who speaks fluent French, has been tapping knowledge on pupils of CWMTAWE Community School.

The Ghana international says he's inspiring the language among English-speaking pupils.

 

“The event was organised to broaden the pupils’ horizons when it comes to languages,” explained Angharad Evans, head of French at the school.

“It helped them realise that French isn’t only spoken in mainland France and it will help them massively to hear French spoken by someone who isn’t just their teachers.”

Answering questions about his hobbies and life as a footballer, Ayew conversed with the students in the run up to their GCSEs to help them with their fluency and it’s a subject he stressed is of huge significance to young people.

“It’s very important because when I was young, I didn’t really want to learn French but my parents forced me to do it and now I see the importance,” he said.
