Basic stuffs are not that difficult, i mean function/for/while/var ... is easy to understand wherever one comes from.

The biggest benefit of being an english native speaker is that most resources on the web are in English(docs,articles,videos). And since being a developper is about learning new things all the time, it's easier to learn about new technologies or tools when one can read english articles or documentations.

My english (writing and speaking) is horrible but i force myself to read english docs on a regular basis,because it's just mandatory today.
