I learnt on BBC Basic which was specifically created for British Schools (so was the computer) to teach programming and for its time its was excellent, the documentation briliant and I had years of fun (swearing at it).
I've tried Pascal, VB and VB Script and like jfk says, because I had a foundation of BBC basic I found these langauges easy to convert to.
Recently I have been forced to program in Java Script for a course I was taking and I found it horrible! It was supposed to be an introduction into Java which I will need to learn as well - i'm not looking forward to it.
There does seem to be a divide between people who learn basic and those who learn C type langauges and it is hard to swop between the two
