    I'm a computer scientist so i can program in almost every "mainstream" language and learning another one is very easy when you dominate the programming logics but my favorite is C++ because i like low-level programming and pointers.

    We had that in high school, I could only do basic things. Later I had to ask others to do the tasks for me, it's too difficult.

    So if you fully master one major programming language like Java for example then it should'nt be too difficult to pick up other languages like C++/Python/Perl etc?

    I learned scripting languages before in the past and I think it had pretty much almost all the same components as a real programming language like variables/loops/functions/etc. I guess it should'nt be too difficult for me to pick up Python I guess.

    When I was in high school in the mid-90s we had to learn COBOL in our computer programming class; It was useless to me, we should've learned Python or something else like maybe C++ IMO. These days I checked online at my old high school's website and it appears that they're teaching C++ now as opposed to COBOL which is cool.

    Yes, basically that, but i recommend you first mastering C++ after learning the basics of programming logic because it's the most complicated "major" language and if you get proficient in it you will be able to learn any other language without problem while thinking "this is so easy". If you begin learning Java and after achieving a intermediate level begin to learn C++ you will be frustated.
    Python is good if you want something easy but it's mostly used for scripting and to practice programming logic. You will never see a triple-A game or a complex solution written purely in Python. After some months you will be able to make basic programs easily but when you begin to learn a real language you will have problems.
