First, if you are a rookie, then YOU DON'T NEED TO LEARN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. We are sick of bad programmers.

Also, it's easy to learn a language, however, it's hard to use it correctly.

For example, everybody could learn the basic of python in a month. However, the difficulty escalates when you want to do something worthy because you must learn many other tools.

python + data science = pandas, numphy.

python and web service = django or flask, plus html, css and a bit of javascript.

python and database = etc.

And they are not easy (or short) than the language.

Its exactly like to learn to talk in german, you can learn the basic at ease, however the trick is to have a conversation.

And for everybody that would want to start programming then:

* c# is by far the easiest language around here, and it is highly appreciate in the industry.

* Please, don't use a notepad or alternative (notepad++, sublime text, visual studio core, atom), use a proper IDE. They days that the programmer must remember every single namespace, class or method is long gone.
