He missed a couple of sitters against Ipswich - but Floyd Ayite reckons he now misses very little else barked at him on a pitch.
In fact, Fulham's man in form says progress that has brought him four goals in just four performances has gone in hand with learning English.
The Togo international could have added to his haul at Portman Road, but after a slow start that included injury - he admits he's finally hit stride.
“There is a more aggressive way in the English game in terms of challenges and the speed at which the game is played,” he said.
“But it is not a matter of needing to be fitter to play in England, more a question of adaptation and listening to your coaches.
“I’m feeling a lot better about the challenge and that I am making progress all the time.”
Another step towards mastering the challenge for the 28-year-old involves understanding the nuances of a new country after spending all his playing career in French football.
He also believes there are times when football transcends the language barrier, but there is no substitute for a bit more fluency.
“When you play on the pitch there are certain codes that you understand as football is a global language,” he added.
“But I would rather speak English a lot better and I feel I am making progress with this every day now.”
