Hello, I am from Indonesia, I am not speaking English daily, I think programming helps only a little in improving English vocabulary, because people rarely use formal English, and it is common in codes we see abbreviations that only the coder knows what (being without any comment).

I guess you can better improve your English by reading books, listening to music, or movies (with good subtitle), programming languages indeed uses English syntactic, but really just a few common words.

Best of luck on your studies : )

Answer 3

I guess, not much. Programming languages are quite different from English. They are languages on their own. But the commands in JavaScript are a bit like English, so it may somewhat help.
