Since you are (opparently) interested in Mac programming, I'd
personally recommend starting with C and then making the relatively
small leap to Objective-C. This will make learning object-oriented
design significantly easier, since Objective-C is more similar to C
than C++ is to C. This is the route I chose, and I have been quite
happy and have found no real roadblocks on the way to becoming a
competent Cocoa programmer.

Xcode will identify all the languages it will work with using the help
from
Xcode.
I examined them all, and chose Cocoa -- it fit what I wanted.
You, as a newbie, interested in the insanity of programming, should
get books
from the bookstore regarding the language C, and learn it, and program
it
(using Xcode's C++), then learn C++, then read the help from Xcode and
pick a
language best suited for what you want to do. Then move through
Xcode's built
in examples from the help files. (That's where I started, but I
already knew
C++. UNIX should be understood as well. Purchase a book on it and
examine
the Terminal program.)
Basic concepts of C and UNIX are expected to be understood by the
programmer.
