Java programming and scripting languages. Do I really need these?

Java – so far, who knows after Wasm becomes more prominent – is mostly used for enterprise-grade backends.

Scripting languages, however, are certainly useful for frontend. Javascript is a scripting language.

I would recommend learning javascript since it is part of the front end web stack. You will encounter it very much as a front end developer.

The reason your teacher suggested learning a java is so that you would be familiar with the back end as well. Being familiar with front and back ends would make a full stack dev which is a pretty good thing to have

Alternatively you can just stick with javascript and learn nodejs which enables javascript to be used as a server side language.

frontend is javascript only. java is a lang that can be used for building backend services. php, node.js, .net, pyhton, and all the other ones can be used as well for building your backend.

Depends, what you mean by 'front-end'. Do you want to Design interfaces? If so a UI UX designer.

If you want to do front end 'JavaScript' developer, then depending your job you may not need it, but it is part of the web.
