Jose Izquierdo knows it's important he learns English quickly after completing his move to Brighton.

The Colombian has revealed the unique ways in which he learned English following his move to Club Brugge.

The striker told the club's website: “When I went to Brugge I didn't understand anything. I had one very good guy at the club who was the translator that did everything for us.

“He helped me a lot with everything and we had one class per week at the club, but I understood if I did just this one class per week, I would not learn very quickly.

“Sometimes I would go to the classroom and a few hours later, I would forget what I learned. So I started to learn on my own and I put my phone in English and my computer in English. In my house I would label things on bits of paper like 'chair', 'table', 'the wall' and 'the TV.'

“Each day I tried to learn different words and watch movies in English. I started to joke with my teammates at the club [in English].

“It's been six months, I taught myself and I still practise every day. It's easier than if I was in Colombia, because there you'd speak English for a few hours, then you leave and everything is in Spanish. Here, you would leave the class, and everybody speaks English."
