What is their main language, then?
That is another problem. There is not a main language.

If there was, then it would be easy enough to get a teacher that spoke English and w0g. But I read somewhere that in some schools, there are about 20 or 30 different languages spoken among pupils.

Another resopn why they should be forced to learn English if they wish to stay until a ship can be arranged to take them home.
