But the spectre of delivering a speech brown-nosing the teachers jammed her imagination. At first she didn't want to and then sh

Language is the center of Yoyo's conflict because it is the thing keeping her from feeling confident presenting a speech in front  of her classmates. She is afraid that because of her accent they will make fun of her, so she compares the thought of giving the speech to a "spectre", or a ghost looming over her.
