Arsenal fullback Kieran Gibbs says coach Steve Bould is working closely with January signing Gabriel Paulista.
Gibbs admits Gabriel is yet to adjust to the local lingo.
But he reveals to arsenal.com: "He doesn't speak any English at the moment and it was the same with Alexis when he came. It won't take him long. We've brushed him up on a few of the sayings for him to get used to.
"In training and stuff in the week, Steve Bould goes through it with him with one of the Spanish boys, who then translates what it means in English so he understands when it is said to him on the pitch. That's what it starts from and to get a good understanding it is important.
"One of the biggest things that I've realised from him is that he embraces the physical side of the game. That's what we want from a centre half.
"At this stage of the season, we don't want to have any excuses that we fell short from injuries. It is nice to know that we have got a good solid central defence who are all available."
