I had problems visualising things, when reading it in English. Many years ago, when I started working on enterprise applications, I would come across terms like "Provider" which I would read about and then forget. I guess I could not make simple connection between the technical term "Provider" and the real word abstract noun. This made understanding simple design patterns or abstractions harder. A lot of times when you know the literal meaning of a technical word and can visualize it in your head, understanding the related concept becomes a lot easier.
