Real Madrid are launching a mission to accelerate Karim Benzema's settling in period. The Frenchman has failed to adapt to his move to Madrid, struggling with the local language and finding himself isolated from teammates because of it.

Real have hired a Spanish language coach to help Benzema, who after four months is still limited to one word answers when talking with teammates.

Another positive development is Benzema has finally moved out of his hotel to a house. Of all the summer arrivals, Benzema was the last to leave his hotel suite.

Now he is living in a popular suburb, which keeps him close to teammates including Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Guti and Xabi Alonso.
