But! As others have said if you want some help on the programming side, let me know!

It's also a little weird with it's variable scoping which confuses some people.

But I recommend it not because I use it a lot personally (it's a job, I don't choose which language I get to write in most of the time), but it feels (to me) like it's the closest language I've tried to just describing what you want a program to do without getting bogged down in a lot of weird syntactic stuff.

And unlike C#/Java it doesn't enforce you learning about classes at the start (biggest facepalm for me ever was my first university lecture on programming where they had to try and teach us about classes because we were doing Java... )

Plus I think it teaches good habits with it's indentation requirements

There are a lot of good guides for doing relatively simple things in Java or C# though which will teach a beginner though.
