I don't understand how mastering English would help?   Is it difficult to find enough study materials in your native language?  (I would think not... not if you're from Brazil.  Brazil has the largest number of online pros in the world these days).

If one is good enough to play professionally then money shouldn't be the thing that is keeping you from doing this.
1.)   Invest a small amount & then build it up to a large enough amount so that you're bankrolled for the stakes you feel you need to play at, in order to make a living at the game.
2.)   If you're a good player, it will be easy enough to find a backer (< someone who would be willing to invest in you).

Myself
At times I've thought I might want to play semi-professionally.    
I have a decent grasp on the English language (have read probably close to 100 poker books... still have a few newer ones I haven't read yet).   And I am currently bankrolled for Low STakes MTT's (but can I even beat them at a decent win rate? ... or even 
I've studied poker a fair bit... but not enough lately tbh. (although I still do put in a couple hours each week)
I've played quite a bit.

BUT, I lack the discipline to do what I feel is necessary to be successful at poker these days.  
I also don't know if I have the mental fortitude to handle the variance while playing MTT's.
I am not capable of putting in the long sessions required for MTT play as I am caring for my very ill partner.

What I do know is, it takes A LOT of the things I've mentioned to be successful at online poker.   It is a difficult venture!  If it was easy, many people would be doing it (many more than there are today)
