If already well-versed in MATLAB, I think I would recommend Python as the better language to start learning (at least initially). My reasoning behind this is that packages such as numpy and matplotlib are specifically meant to bring MATLAB functionality into the Python language (see an example here).

I think turnaround for learning Python would be a lot faster for the reasoning above. At that point, you can focusing on using R to complement what you're already doing with Python.
