You should never put ANY weaknesses on a resume.
As for being asked about your weaknesses during an interview, the truth is always best. I usually tell people that I need to work for someone who will listen to me when I disagree with him.
I've worked for several people who had a problem with this -- and refused to work for people after that unless they knew that I needed to be heard. The great thing about this weakness (other than its truth) is that it let them know I would take initiative in my work -- and it also put it on them to determine if their inability to listen was a weakness for them.

You may never be asked a "weakness" but may be asked how you would have handled a touchy situation during your last position or how you would describe a situation that would cause you to become aggravated. Employers are savvy today and have learned to weed out people who find "negative" memories or situations less easy to answer than the way they would approach a new situation.

Your poor command of the English language will already be on display. I wouldn't give them any more to think about if I were you.

You are supposed to put your strengths on a resume.

Say that you tend to be a workaholic or an over-achiever.
Never anything that negatively impacts yourself.

On the resume? In 15 + years of working I've never put weaknesses on a resume.
I would wait to be asked my weaknesses in the interview.
You want a weakness that shows you are a hard worker (perfectionist?) or that you are determined (stubborn at tackling problems) or something similar that can also be a strength.
good luck on your interview.
