  "account": "Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Getty Images | Getty Images When foreign players join Bayern Munich, they are required to attend a course to help them with the German language and communication. Despite being with the team for three years, Harry Kane has yet to master the language. When asked about this, Kane playfully remarked, \"Oh, I knew this was coming.\" He expressed his hope to learn more over the next three years compared to the initial period. Kane discussed his plans with Max, the language teacher at Bayern, aiming to improve his skills further. According to Kane, the primary focus now is to boost his confidence in speaking and not be concerned about the reactions. Although Kane acknowledges that he understands more now than before, he emphasizes the importance of stepping out and making mistakes in conversations. He expressed his willingness to engage in interviews or discussions in German, noting that the fans and the club would greatly appreciate it. Kane recently signed a new contract with Bayern Munich, extending his tenure until 2029.",
