When I was a kid I thought the Pascal language was a German programming language and Basic was English. This was because when I started with computers I got a book from my uncle about programming serial and parallel ports. The book was in Dutch but the Pascal code examples where commented in German and the Basic ones in English. And because all language keywords where just as foreign to me they might as well have been German in my mind. So I stuck with the Basic examples, which where “English”, because at least I had English lessons in school. Eventually I learned both languages where English and stuck with the Pascal examples because they where the more useful ones, and I learned a bit more German along the way to decipher the comments.
