But the Spain international has failed to impress having scored just three goals and created only two assists so far.
Chelsea fans have started to show signs of frustration over his performances, but Pedro insists he is still trying to cope with the long ball tactics used in English football.
He said: "I'm happy living here. It's a great city and a great League to play in, although the Premier League is very different to La Liga.
"There are lots of differences, the main one being the type of game that most teams play. In Spain it's more tactical and here it is much more intense and competitive.
"In Spain, you always try to give the ball to someone in the middle of the pitch and they take it from there to build up the play.
"But here, teams play longer passes to stretch the game. I'm slowly adapting and we practice a lot in training, so I try to put what I learn into my game during matches as well.
"I am getting used to it, getting used to the people and making friends, so it is going well."
Chelsea have won just one League game under new manager Guus Hiddink, who replaced Jose Mourinho last month, and sit just four points above the relegation zone.
