Takumi Minamino struggles with Trent Alexander-Arnold's scouse accent - but he's leaning to speak English at a rate of knots.
That's according to Alexander-Arnold, who says the Japan international has been working hard to assimilate since signing for the Premier League club in January.
Liverpool signed Minamino from Salzburg in the winter window, parting with just £7.25million - the price of the forward's release clause.
Minamino has featured a handful of times for Liverpool, but recently admitted he was struggling to come to terms with the cultural differences of the Premier League.
Alexander-Arnold was asked to name the one player at the squad who finds his Liverpudlian accent most difficult to understand, and named Minamino.
But he quickly added that the Japanese star is working hard to learn English, and showing great signs of progress.
"I'd probably say Takumi [struggles most with my accent]," Alexander-Arnold told GQ magazine. "He didn't speak a lot of English when he first came, but he is probably the fastest learner I've ever seen for someone learning a language."
Minamino was interviewed by Liverpool last month and revealed he is determined to win the "trust" of his Reds team-mates.
"In the last three months there have been areas which I'm quite happy about," Minamino said. "But personally I would love to contribute more to goals and assists – I'm feeling very hungry about that.
"I don't really know how much I still need to learn. But day by day, I'm feeling that I understand his [Klopp's] philosophies and I'm getting better.
"I have to show results. I think this is very important in order to win trust from the teammates and trust from the supporters. I think this is a very important thing that I have to achieve."
