Language barrier

While taking a flight lesson, I strongly feel a language barrier. Number is one of the most difficult things. It is required to respond to the instructor's indication such as "Keep level at 2,100 feet and 2,300 RPM." This is never difficult English, but I need several milli seconds to understand and act correctly, and the time is critical for airplane maneuvering. Communications with the tower seem to be the most difficult thing. I usually listen to English as a background music but that isn't permitted while flying because missing the direction from the tower might cause serious accident. It is really true that pilots' job is communication.
