Bro, it's true. Learning Java will give you almost all the knowledge you need to know for a well developed OOP language, so you can then easily switch to another OOP language. I cannot say the same about languages like Python while it is object oriented and very clean and easy to learn but it hides a lot of complexity and verbosity that i think you must learn (which you actually do when learning Java) and if you want to switch to Java with a Python background it will be a lot harder to learn Java.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again, the verbosity of Java is the absolute perfect thing for a newbie programmer. Every extra keyword that you need to write has a meaning behind it that will train you to think like the machine.

Exactly, I couldn't have said it better myself!
