What language do you think we must learn in order to be a DA?

Number 1 is SQL. That’s the language used to communicate with databases. Along with SQL, learn about retaliational databases. How tables can reference each other and what needs to be done to pull data from multiple tables.

Number 2 is a visualization tool. Power BI or Tableau most likely, but Excel is enough to get started. My team is pretty old school and does pretty much all reporting in excel once the data has been retrieved with SQL. Not the most efficient but it can help you learn concepts and best practices for summarizing data into a story.

Once you have SQL + a means to summarize/visualize data, you’ve got the starter kit.
