When I was picking up my first language, I could not decide either, so I started with computer science course on Brilliant(dot)org and youtube videos from Crash course on this topic.
This gave me enough fundamentals and more clue about what I want to learn.
Also to be mentioned, programming languages are just tools, each of them better for something else. Depends on what you are building.
P.S Love that infographic @MrSummer shared!

I'd generally suggest Javascript if you want to have a much easier time with learning your 2nd language. If you learn Python first, your 2nd language may be a bit trickier. Ultimately, however, it all comes down to the kinds of things you want to build.

Why should you not focus with Java. Java is highly influenced by two languages C and C++. Java is a multiplatform programming language so it can work in windows, mac and phones too.
There are some of the programming languages used to create computer softwares tgat runs on Java Virtual Machine (JVM). They are Phython m, Rexx, R etc..

It can be hard to digest in the beginning. Agreed, some people will love java, but not everyone will have the patience. This is why I don't generally recommend this language for the first time learners.
If you really want to go java route, first learn the basics of programming.. like pure C. There is a reason why C is almost always taught in the first semester of a computer grad course, but java is generally taught at a later stage.

I agree with Javascript as a recommendation.
There's a big community, many tutorials, and you can google any issues you may have and you'll find an answer.
Everything is being built with JS, web apps, mobile apps, and desktop apps.
Better for you to just get started and do it rather than debating on what language to start using.
You'll build the fundamentals with one language that can be used to learn other languages.
Learning programming languages isn't hard. It's learning how to solve something with them.

The easiest language for you is the language you'll be interested in. And you'll be interested in learning if you have a project in mind you want to develop. For example, if you want to build a website or web service - you should learn JS or PHP, if you are interested in DataScience or web scraping - then the python is the best choice.
Python is really amazing, but you would not be able to build a mobile app on it and you will have to learn a Django framework to build a website.
Before you start learning write a few projects you want to develop, and learn to achieve that goal.
