Alaykum Salal, Ilhamyehiya. Allah, as you know, knows ALL languages.
I am well aware that some prefer that prayers be done in Arabic, however Allah knows the heart.
Pray sincerely and He will hear you.
أود السلام عليكم ولكم

RickJ is correct. When I first started my journey into Islam, I was told it was absolutely acceptable for me to give Dua in english, as I did not know Arabic. I only know the alphabet at this time! And I still use english. But Insha Allah I will learn arabic in His time.
