Answer:

English is not her first language

Step-by-step explanation:

Saying she isn't educated with only this passage for context would be improper and presumptuous, and she definitely speaks some English seeing that she wrote English words. I don't understand how "She only speaks English to her daughter" correlates, so going with English isn't her first language seems to be the most fitting out of these answers.
