Most things in programming are human conventions that you have to learn. There is rarely a way to guess or figure things out. Keywords, scoping, byte order... It's all arbitrary, understanding the English meaning of the world "yield" in English will do little to help you understand generators. No, the real problem is the reading material. If you need to debug/read doc/google stuff, anything worth something (except a few exceptions like samemax.com and so on) will be in English. I've seen French professionals being perfectly capable programmers, but because their English sucked, their struggled to solve some problems that were a Stackoverflow post away.
