De Jong begins his Spanish lessons ahead of Barcelona move LaLiga Santander His girlfriend posted a photo

Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong is already thinking about his impending move to Barcelona as he appreciates that the pressure at the Catalan side is extreme and thus making his adaptation period as premature as possible will only benefit the 21-year-old.

As such, De Jong is looking to get his Spanish to a level where he can begin to immediately converse with his teammates upon his arrival.

His girlfriend, Mikky Kiemeney, posted a photo on her Instagram story on Monday of De Jong's revision notes after his first Spanish class.

The truth is that traditionally Dutch players who have played for Barcelona have often been very skilful when it comes to learning the language, making it far easier for them when it comes to talking to the media, their teammates and the coaching staff.

De Jong is making an effort as he appreciates the benefits of mastering the language as quickly as possible.
