Manchester City's new striker Sergio Aguero remains as optimistic as ever about the challenge that awaits him at the Etihad Stadium, despite admitting to lifestyle changes, in an interview on the club's official website.

The 23-year-old tied up a big-money move to the English side from Atletico Madrid in July, and although he is confident of thriving under Roberto Mancini, he admitted to Ole that certain parts of the English culture will take some time to get used to.

"Previously I had begun to learn [English] but without continuity. But now that I take classes four times a week, it's like going back to school," said Aguero in regards to his English.

"But what is good is that I can practice here every day, so let's see how it goes. I think I can get along but I still have a lot to learn."

"With Twitter, the translations are helping me. I still cannot do them alone, but I think it's important to reach everyone," he continued. "Obviously those here have also asked me to write in English."

The ex-Atleti hitman confessed that he has also encountered problems on the road.

"When I arrived I kept trying to get into cars on the wrong side! I had been warned, but it takes years to change. I thought I was going to struggle more, but I have already started to drive and it was not as complicated as it originally seemed."

Aguero also displayed positivity about the long-term impact of his move to City, where he feels it will enable him to improve as a human being, as well as succeeding in his football career.

"I live my life with great joy," said the forward. "Adapting to another culture and be part of it will help me grow as a person. Certainly it's not easy, but I have a great opportunity ahead of me and I will make every effort not to waste it."

"I came to a new country, a different league, another language, but I'm sure is the right choice," he concluded.

"The Premier League is very competitive and has a high level of excellence. City are club with a very serious project that will allow me to continue my progress in football. I am only 23 years old and have a lot to learn yet."
