Python is a great language to start, and even stay with. I've taught a few people to program in python. Very simple syntax, well supported, you'll love it and it will make a lot of sense. Start with python.org to download and learn.

...and also check out the new documentation for the coming versions of Python 2.6/ Py3k. Soon coming to a screen near you directly from Bavaria - Lederhosen and beer not included ;)
