I have tried learning C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java. I could not grasp much of these language. I found out Python while working on Ubuntu. Learning Python is much easier. Other languages I find easier are PHP and JavaScript. There are more content, help available online for these language. Most importantly, I enjoy Python.

Great Resource for start learning Python Python for Non-Programmers https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers
