To make it easier for a newbie: Choose Python if you want to learn programming for yourself - lean, lots of bindings for C-Frameworks, not much surprises and a big community.

(Presuming you want to learn programming for it's own sake, rather than work towards some specific goal that requires code)

Absolutely true. If you have a certain task to do (programming a wordpress plugin, etc.) - the programming language chooses itself :) If you don't know yet, Python would be my best bet.
