So that computer speaks English." But that's a computer program that understands English, not the computer itself.
The language that computers really understand is often called machine language. It is possible, but extremely difficult and error-prone, for humans to write machine language.
Humans and computers have decided to meet somewhere in the middle. Programmers create programs in a language that is not nearly as free as human speech but a lot more flexible and easy to use than machine language. The languages occupying this middle ground - C#, for example - are called high-level computer languages. (Hig
