Here is what I’ve located thus far for the OBama and language.....If she was getting up early to teachhim English...It appears that English was treated as the second language.

From multiple sources often repeated:

Bahasa, the language spoken in Indonesia and Malaysia. ...
Ann began teaching English at the American embassy in Indonesia while giving her son English lessons in the early morning hours before he left for school.
……..
Barack Obama Sr. (Obama’s father) must have fluently spoken Luo as his mother tongue, Kiswahili and English among other languages.

Ann also worked in Pakistan in the mid 80’s and knew a smattering of that language. By the mid 80’s Maya was living with her grandparents while she attended Punahou, Ann was free to come and go as she pleased. She was fluent in the language spoken in Indonesia.

paraphrasing from 'Dreams' - Stanley Ann said to the boy obama when she told him she was taking him back to Hawaii -

you'll like it, you won't have to get up at four in the morning anymore...

Lolo was a muslim, he took obama to the mosque, remember? Four am is the time FOR THE FIRST MUSLIM PRAYER.
