I'd also say add that if you have some further plans to study programming to get your skills to more advanced level, starting with a low-level language may be better. It gives more solid foundations, because it doesn't hide things like high-level languages do. That's from my experience. In college our first course in basic programming was Pascal (which is low-level). I'm happy it was that way. If you want learn only practical programming, you'll definitely be good with a high-level language like Python. It gives you a quick start, as you can accomplish practical tasks much easier and more quickly.
