is facing a (new language);
diante
advérbio
before, in front;
For me, "before" sounds forced; hence, a synonym that sounds natural would be "facing"

is confronted with
'Is confronted with' is often used when somebody faces a new situation. Incidently, you would not say 'the Daw loans' but 'Daw loan-words' or loan-words from Daw' (without the article).
Example sentence:
'Early colonists were confronted with unfamiliar plants and animals'.
