I was around 9 and didn’t speak English at all when I first met a computer with ROM BASIC in it.
My struggles were with understanding the structure and my daily driver was making games. BASIC was sort of harder to get compared to e.g. Pascal cause it was less structured. English was not an issue at all. And print/input/print loop gets boring immediately. You need graphics, and sounds, and a library of these, and algorithms that make it move. I had to imagine that circles were characters and SOUND 50, 2 were the effects.
I remember two instant-games environments - Gambas and Löve2d, but there should be much more now.
