Like others have said this shows why its so important to ensure you develop your english skills. if your wife has time and you the money let her study practise her english while still in phill and if possible take an ilets exam it costs about 80 pounds but tests on reading, writing, listening and speaking. It will either you understand to a decent level or what you need to concentrate on.
I know for a fact it was a big plus when my wife has gone for her jobs and improved my wifes english skills as she had something to aim for and the result gave her confidence.
