English, seriously. Most code you are going to see in the wild is going to be written with an English speaking audience in mind. Variable names will typically be in English as well as explanatory comments. Your English seems to be fairly good though, but more fluency will help.

On the computer science side of things I would recommend trying to become very comfortable with one relatively modern programming language like Java, Python, or C if you want to start programming in hard mode.

Also, if your university has a programming club I would recommend joining it from day one. Everyone I know that took programming club even moderately seriously landed $100k+ jobs right out of college.

Good luck!

You should get your dick wet. I mean two-three hours of sweaty, mindless fucking.

Then consider if you really still want to do it.

If you do you're good to go.

Usually the first year assumes 0 background in the courses you're taking but move pretty fast.
I'd suggest mastering precalculus to not be stuck on stupid shit while learning calculus.
If you want a head start, learn a bit about sone calculus stuff like integrals and derivatives.
As for programming, any background that teaches you to think in terms of computable operations will help

Python and Java. Python is a lot easier
