I taught myself BASIC at 9 by reading magazines, but had my first 
english lessons five years later.
Knowing english would have helped to understand the operating/language 
manuals, not the language keywords themselves.

I suppose if you were to try what the OP suggested, you would need to 
translate a lot of the standard library, parameter names, and such... 
nonsense.
