I don't recommend starting with C++, C or Java.
I myself learned Lua as my first language. Its syntax is simple enough to pick up easily and quickly, it retains most of the features modern language have(or should have), and it doesn't take 3 seconds for the interpreter to output. Looking towards Python's general direction for that statement.
After that you can move onto Python and/or Javascript, to get a general feel of the wide varieties of syntax out there today.
Everything should be pretty straightforward after you learn those 3. Just make sure to save C++ for last. It'll eat you alive at earlier levels.
