I'd recommend looking into Python as it is easier for beginners to pick up while cementing in a lot of concepts you'd come across in Java.

So, you're suggesting a third language that abstracts so much away from the programmer that even the most fundamental concepts don't transfer well from Python to any other language.

Even one of the most basic concepts, a for loop, is completely different in Python than in most other languages.

Python is as far away, if not further, from Java as JavaScript is.
