I'm just thinking of people at age moving to a different country and start a new life in new surroundings. It would be the same situation, like kids learning a new alphabet / transition. Imagine language changes like Arabic <-> Latin or Cyrillic <-> Chinese and vice versa. One needs time & practice, but one can't blame the alphabet learned in the early Years. I feel like the transition came in the age when it was most important and the kids weren't prepared and struggled with further studies. But again, me myself also learned one language and moved to a different country & started to learn another language at 12 and another one at 14 and 16 and at 24 started to learn Chinese and also went there to study abroad. I can spell in each of the languages. Although not perfect, but fluent enough I think :) May be it's some other cause. Dyslexia, some shape of. Bad learner. I dunno, but learning another language would be impossible for that good woman featured.
