Based on my previous experiences with coding I think Python would be the easiest language to teach first. Python requires fewer libraries to import and is easier in my opinion to keep looking clean. With Java to get some of the basic functions as an input command, you would need to import a scanner or...
While you may be interested in coding simply because you enjoy it, a good bonus is the fact that coding can make you a lot of money.
