Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo has been taking lessons to improve his English while sidelined with an injury.
The Brazilian made the move to Anfield from Juventus on deadline day after midfielders Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara had suffered early-season injuries.
However, things haven't gone according to plan for Arthur since his switch from Italy as he has only managed 13 minutes in a Liverpool shirt this season, which came in the closing stages of September's humiliating 4-1 defeat to Napoli. And despite using the recent international break to train with the club's under-21s side, and even feature in the Papa John's Trophy, the 26-year-old has been ruled out until 2023 with injury.

But that has not stopped Arthur continuing to learn English ahead of hoping to make a positive impact upon his return from injury in early 2023.
Football language coach Sara Duque shared screenshots of herself with the midfielder during a lesson to her Instagram story, along with the message "well done @arthurhmelo". Arthur then shared the snap on his own story on Friday night.
The Brazil international broke his silence on his injury last week, posting on Instagram: "Last week was not the best for me… Sadly, as you know, an unfortunate injury to my left thigh will keep me out of action for a while.
"It comes just at time when, after huge effort and lots of hard work, I was ready to establish myself in my new team and determined to fight for my dream of playing at the World Cup.
"It is now time for me to keep my head up and join forces with my family and do everything I need to with my team to make sure I come back stronger as soon as possible. No obstacle will prevent me from progressing in my career and I have great ambition to show what I can do on the pitch.
"In the meantime, I will continue to support my Liverpool teammates and my beloved Brazil national team. Thanks for all the messages of support!"
