Easy first-time languages

Okay, I'm completely new to programming. Java's giving me headaches since I've never done OOP before.

I'm trying to be a true hacker on steroids, can you help me /prog/?

I tried asking this in /g/ but I'm still indecisive.

I failed it.  Hard.  I'm at the beginning, at the string section, at the part where it tells you how to start a new line in a string with \n.  And it's not working.  I copy/pasted the example and it worked.  Then, I tried doing it with my own text, and it didn't work.  Then I tried typing it out exactly as they showed it...and it still didn't work. 
"This is the first line\nAnd this is the second" is printing out...exactly that.  Spaces aren't fixing it either.
