I'm not going to say that I'm the best programmer, because I'm not. However, here is some advice: 1 ) Your English isn't bad, but I'd work on it everyday. Think of it as a programming language, and try to learn some of the syntax rules everyday. Its not Context Free, but I guarantee you it will pay dividends if you learn to speak/write english very well. This can be done combined with my number 2 advice. 2 ) Pick a project on Github that you like (Open Source) and contribute. Fix bugs and Do patches until you feel comfortable that you can add features. On your commit messages, practice good English skills, be clear and concise on what you did. This will improve your programming skills and your english skills in the same vein (which is awesome). 3 ) Write Blog posts. Even if you don't publish them, write what you are thinking and proof-read them yourself/find a friend who is good at English to proof read them. 4 ) Pick one language (Java isn't bad its very popular) and just read a book a month about it. It doesn't have to be Syntax but it can be about concurrency and other models in the language. You will find a lot of programming constructs are simple, once your understand the fundamentals. 5 ) Master the fundamentals. Creating good unit tests, writing good comments (In English!), and writing reusable and readable code.

These will make you a better programmer. It takes time, no one is born a master, but if you work at it and get a little bit better everyday, you will eventually become one.
