Logic, imperative programming etc. is not tied to any natural language. You wouldn't have to relearn the same concepts at all.

Then why choose a "real programming language" anyways? Go with something like scratch, or something that uses symbols to program tiny machines, like half a dozen iOS games.

"Real" programming languages aren't suited for beginners because error messages are usually to cryptic and should contain hints how to solve the problem.
