From my experience you will be able to learn the language part very very quickly. Programming is pretty much just a subset of English language. Like with all scientific fields, there’s a very limited set of ever-repeating words used. There are certainly courses in other languages, put if I was to give you some advice, I’d encourage you to start using English right from the start and not wasting any time on getting your English skills up to speed - they’ll have a tremendous return for you.

Have a lot of fun and enjoy your learning.

Thanks for the great response! Sorry for the confusion—English is my first language. I have updated the above text to reflect that. I’m just curious about other people’s experiences :)
