London, Feb 14 : Football legend David Beckham has reportedly signed up for French lessons to improve his command over the language, days after joining French team Paris St Germain.

According to a French magazine, Beckham has joined weekly French classes after his French speaking skills were labelled `awful', the Daily Express reports.

Admitting that he spoke French badly, Beckham revealed that he had not spoken French since he was in school. Beckham had reportedly taken the decision to make his stay in the French club a little easier.

Paris St. Germain will be paying for the former L. A. Galaxy star to stay in the Royale Suite at the Le Bristol Hotel for 13,500 pounds a night, while the footballer said he will donate his 150,000 pounds a week salary to charity. (ANI)
