I would recommed Python aswell. It is a very high level language, which is good for playing and learning with, specially about programming logic.
I like both Gedit with the Better Console plugin and Pida (in the repos). I keep switching between the two.
I'm trying to fix Gedit text highlighting right now, since it doesn't seem to highlight...

your menu.lst is probably wrong:
