I would 100% recommend anyone who is serious about programming to learn C first. The syntax is very simple and the language is pretty easy to use. It also gives you a peak under the hood at how all programming languages work because it exposes a lot of control to you.

If you are intimidated by the difficulty of C (which I don’t think you should be — the hard one is C++), start with whichever language matches your interest:

Web dev: JavaScript Game dev: C# AI: Python

But also, remember that a programming language is just that. A language you use to express your ideas. A skilled, highly employable developer will know many languages even if they only use one at their job. Always seek new information and try and advance your learning. The syntax of a language is a pretty minor part of the journey overall and the least important part for a beginner. It’s all about learning how to think and how to express complex processes in a way the computer understands. The language just tells you what words to use once you can already do that.
