Recognised by the public and The Guardian for his efforts in promoting language learning through the means of football, Arsenal club manager, Arsene Wenger has recently bagged the title of Public Language Champion 2013.

"Being voted Britain’s first ever public language champion is an incredible honour," Arsene Wenger said. "I am very proud that Arsenal and I can help raise the profile of language learning in schools."

Wenger is dubbed as ‘Le Professeur’ for his multilingual ability – he is a proud speaker of 6 languages; German, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian and English. It is no wonder that he, along with his multinational team, took the lead in reinforcing language learning in the context of football through his Arsenal Double Club.
