I would also recommend VB as a beginner language or even JavaScript (yes i know its scripting not coding). but honestly i learnt java in school as my first language, just 1 hour a day 5 days a week for about 4 months and i was able to write some pretty good code. you really just have to choose a language and stick with it for a while. the beginning is rough but once you get the hang of it its actually really easy!
