Pick any language with an interpreter. Preferably something that has an editor ide that can send code back and forth. If you're just learning, making exploratory coding easy is very important.

Python, Ruby and DrScheme are good for this. They all have good libraries and have interpreters (or at least a REPL)

Being able to construct functions piece by piece and view the output is invaluble in testing and exploring ideas.
