I'd recommend an easier programming language such as C# or Python. I started with C++ and wish I hadn't...

why ?

My opinion would be to start with C language

First time you deal with types, memory management and compilation.
You shouldn't add the difficulty to learn object oriented programming at the same time, plus C++ have some features like garbage collection and other stuff that might confuse you at the beginning (why do I don't have to free my pointer ?).

I might be wrong but that's my thoughts
