Well, C would be ideal - I study Pascal (un)fortunately, which is a very easy, thus outdated language. Though you can write suprisingly good programs in it, even 3 dimensional. The only problem is, it's mostly compatible with Windows OSes under XP, or DOSBox. On linux or mac you could use FreePascal, but it doesn't really have graphical units (think of them of libraries of functions), so go with DOSBox + Borland/Turbo Pascal if you choose Pascal to code in.
You can easily grasp the basic concepts of variables, loops, different data structures, file management, and such. Then there's Object Pascal based Delphi, which is the Object-Oriented version of Pascal, lot of things can be written in it.
But as I began, C would be the best - it's a widely used language with lot of information about it, libraries, functions, sourcecode of tons of software... just learn C!
