If you're planning on living in the US, then you need to be ready to speak English pretty much everywhere you go.

The Biometrics appointment won’t need much from you as far as speaking English is concerned. You potentially would be fine by yourself and your husband can accompany you.

 

but something to keep in mind for your interview is hiring a capable translator, not a friend, as your husband shouldn’t be translating for you there

 

good luck

Your spouse or any friend/relative who's fluent in English can accompany you in case a translation is needed.

On the flip side, while learning a new language can be difficult, you should have it aced by the time you get to the naturalization step

Naturalization requires that you have the unhindered ability to read, write and speak in English at the time of your test.

Keep practicing and don't give up!

Unfortunately the backward state of California is an outlier. Instead of only issuing election ballots in English they issue bilingual English/<insert language from list below> ballots

• Cantonese
• Mandarin
• Tagalog
• Ilocano
• Vietnamese
• Korean
• Cambodian/Khmer
• Panjabi
• Spanish
• Hmong
• Armenian
• Bengali
• Persian
• Arabic
• Syriac

IMO, citizens (both natural and naturalized) shouldn't need bilingual ballots. English should be sufficient.
