I would say Python is the easiest to learn (but that's as it's the first one I learnt). It's fairly readable (almost pseudocode) and doesn't have too much syntax to get your head around. But at the same time it's a language that is also used professionally and has a lot of depth to it (unlike say something like Scratch, which is easy to learn but perhaps not particularly useful if you want to continue).

But as others have said it's more important to learn how to program first, instead of a particular language. Getting those fundamentals can be done in any language.
