If you're from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

While many languages read left-to-right and have other artifacts of English words order, you do not need to learn English first. Knowing English makes it easier, but learning English first would make it harder.

Am I confused? Doesn't English read left-to-right?

Blah. First comment after waking up, sorry.

Np! I was just sat here moving my hand from right to left thinking I'd somehow had it wrong all this time XD
