Let's have a look at some vocabulary which you might find problematic:
mother tongue - native / first language
affect - influence
staff = personnel - the group of people who work for an organization; do not confuse with stuff - used to refer to a substance or a group of things or ideas, etc., often with a description of their general type or quality or saying who they belong to, without saying exactly what they are
struggle with sth - to experience difficulty and make a very great effort in order to do something
circumstances - a fact or event that makes a situation the way it is
