You're not alone. I'm self-taught in english and it's not my first language. Although native english speakers have commended me I still find reading technical texts taxing. They fall in the category of any academic text. Be it from a uni, research group, specfication manual. I did not receive formal education in English so I don't understand those formal words. Every other sentence there's something I have to look up and then I'm in a rabbit hole. Actually same goes for my native tongue in some respect since I dropped out of school before reaching university. I've still managed to make a career in IT and often desire to read technical specifications but feel helpless when I try. My strategy so far has been to wait for an implementation in a language I can understand like Python, hopefully.
