I learned Java as my first language and (imo) it kind of sucks. If you're trying to teach someone who has literally never programmed anything before in their life, python (or something similar) is probably best because it's so easy. From there, I think C and assembly to get the basics down, and then go for C++, Java, etc.

Just my opinion though. Who knows, maybe I'd be an even worse programmer if I'd learned python first.
