I definitely think I can play as a professional, what I lack for that are two things. mastering english and mainly money to enter tournaments.

You don't need to know english, just a few words from sign language. And why tf would you need money nowadays?

Good luck if you do choose to pursue poker as a profession! Personally I would recommend having a career outside of poker before choosing something as high variance as poker for a living. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, if you're good enough to play professionally you'll inevitably make enough money playing to be professional, and if you can't it's probably a sign you shouldn't!

To become a professional, the first thing would be to master my banking. once this is achieved the sky is the limit

I think that in order to become a professional player, one desire and skills are not enough, a decent bankroll is required.

A bankroll is really needed, which cannot be said about knowledge of English. Now is the time that the language barrier is not a big problem

I think if you have talent, you don't need money or English.

For me my poker game is a hobby, I say this because if I played like a pro then it would mean that I make enough money to not have a job, there is still a long way to go, I still hope to qualify for a major tournament , if I get there then I could say that I play pro

I think if you want to become a professional player no matter what language you speak, the main thing is to be able to play cool, and if you play great, you will find the money to participate in the tournament I think these 2 factors should not prevent you from becoming a professional player, you just don't have enough poker training and you will certainly become a professional player I believe in it, my friend

What I can say for sure is that you don't need to know English to become a professional. But mastering the science of poker is definitely a must.

Not sure how much English you really need : Check, Fold, Raise and the numbers should just about cover it.
