ATC communication skill

Hi guys, I’m a student pilot in Australia, and one thing I’ve been struggling with during flights is understanding and responding to ATC. Acknowledgements and readback messages sometimes feel like a complete blackout the moment I receive them. English isn’t my first language, which probably makes it a bit more challenging. I was recently advised to practice using a flight simulator (VATSIM), and I was wondering if anyone here has been in the same situation. Did using a sim actually help improve your ATC communication skills and confidence? Thanks!
