> Question one: Which language (basic, C++, java, etc) is easiest for
learning computer programming?

Both BASIC (very easy, and kinda old ;) ) and Java (very structured) seem to
be favorites for learning.  I used BASIC, but that was back in the days.

> Question Two: Which language is best for scientific programming?

This greatly depends on the kind of scientific problem you are solving.
There are many types and therefore require many different approaches.  I
have used functional languages and C in the past.

> Question Three: Which language is best for web programming?

PHP seems to be very popular, especially in combination with (my)SQL, and it
is what I often use.  I have used Perl a lot in the past and C when it came
to performance on a heavy loaded server.

> Question Four: Which language is best for games programming?

Again, many different approaches here.  I see a lot of C++ out there.
Myself I have used BASIC, assembler, Pascal and Java (but I don't code any
games anymore).  Many types of games, and as such many different approaches.

I am not sure what good these answers are going to do you :) but good luck
anyway,
