May i suggest you travel a bit outside your confort zone and discover that 80% of the world airspace in not primarily English speaking., as to the reason you state to make English the common aviation communication language you obvioulsy do not fly IFR in busy airspace. . Anyway tthis incident is not a language issue, it is a combination of facts which started with an ATC error. giving the wrong QNH.
