An interesting way to learn magic is learning it in another language. After living in Japan for 6 years now, I have leaned magic from Japanese magic books and Japanese magicians, of course in Japanese. This is an interesting experience. I found out you learn some interesting things when you do try to learn magic in a different language. One is I learned how to describe things I would do in my magic show that I did not learn how to do during my Japanese language education. It helps a lot that I was a already a magician because it helped me decipher the hard technical terms found in magic books that do no show up in a regular dictionary. It also taught me to be patient and take more time when learning a new effect. When reading how to do an effect or learning how to do sleights it takes A LOT longer than in your own native language. But I found this is a good thing because it forced me to analyze every detail to make sure I was doing the technique right. Learning from Japanese magic books also helped my Japanese Language performances. This is because reading from the Japanese books I learned the proper language for certain movements, and explanations. 
If you are learning a second language I suggest try learning some magic from a books in that language, not only will it help you learn and practice the language your are studying but it can help your magic performing in that language and improve you English speaking magic as well.
