When asked by the press if he knew any French, Wade revealed that learning the language at the Wycombe school was ‘compulsory’ and that he knows ‘a lot of vocabulary - it was just about stringing them together in sentences.’

He then jokingly boasted of his language skills by saying some of the French words he knew as he sat next to the club's media representative.
