Have to learn something ;_;

Sup /prog/

I chose to do this game authoring course at college but I thought they were going to teach me how to code.
Turns out they're not despite it saying they would in the description.
I just want a language that's [fairly] easy and I can learn within 4 months. I also get the choice of DirectX or OpenGL and I don't know fuck about either of them but have been told DirectX is more retard-friendly.
So what language and opengl or directx?

OpenGL is old and is not keeping with the times, and XNA/DirectX is bloatware.

Use OpenAL, it has all the advantages of free open development, but with better design and is much faster and more cutting edge.
