I’m also a Swedish programming teacher, but I always tell my students to use English variable names. Irrational perhaps, but it just feels safer to avoid åäö. Even more so in file names, where it can make an actual difference if you move the file between different platforms. It’s just safer to not form that habit to begin with.

Zoom has it, for example.

I wouldn’t say that pointers and memory allocation is a good thing to start with. I teach programming to students with no prior experience, and sometimes it’s hard to even get them to grasp basic programming in Python. At least in the beginning. You have to start slow.
