Start with Pascal. Easy to begin with.

Start with theoretical stuff, learn how to do loops, program logic etc. This will eneble you to learn any programming language.

Try for C then later you will easily switch to C++ or maybe Java.

For now start only with theory.

QBasic or Pascal or C++.

I told you three the best program languages to start from. You should start from (Q)Basic, and within a few months change to C++ or Pascal.

You should also check our Exams thread, and start with those exams. k:
