This piece on TUI IDE's[1] reminded me of an interesting learning experience I had with programming:

Like most in my country back in the day, I didn't know *any* English[2]. So when a compiler error like the one on the image came up (after you somehow figured out which menu to choose to compile) you mostly had the position of the problem, but no info about what the problem actually was.

I think this helped developing a "debugging eye" that helps with spotting inconsistencies.
