I learned Scheme, a functional language, first. It was great because of how simple it is, so you get to focus on how to program rather than learning the syntax and oddities of a single language. I more or less took this course but it was In real life. Gregor is a fantastic teacher, and the topics in the course are high level and it covers a lot if stuff.

Anyway, if you learn the concepts in one language, picking up more languages is trivial.
