Is Techdegree a good idea for me? (Non-native English speaker...)

Hi,

I started using TreeHouse a few weeks ago, and I'm interested in the Techdegree program. The thing is, english is not my first language. Also, I don't live in the U.S (I'm from France).

I'd like to know if the fact that my english is not perfect can have a real impact on my ability to complete this program.

Thank you.

The tech degree is definitely worth it! It will help you build a portfolio which is something many employers only care about. However, if you are concerned about your English skills then just wait a bit. I plan on taking the tech degree at some point as well, but I am in no rush. Just take your time with what you are doing now and you will be ready in time my friend.

Cheers!
