I feel like I have to sound out things. It's important for me to be able to say "cp that over there" and I actually pronounce it as "copy" or say "ls" as "list". I think a lot in words and about words. When I'm writing a for loop I usually sound out the whole thing, even if just mentally, "for ecks equals one to ten do" or "for whye in the range". I don't think I'm the only one who does this, so offering pronounceable things to other people in their own language might help.
