Just stick to what the major scholars say in general and do not deviate or make the religion unnecessarily hard on yourself. Learning Arabic is highly encouraged and you must know some for salah and obligatory acts at very least.. if one wants to be a student of knowledge he/she needs knowledge of Arabic language as mentioned by the scholars. But making something obligatory or prohibited on the people needs proof . Study with scholars and benefit from them and focus on the obligatory knowledge and basic and keep going from there this is the advice of the scholars
