Modula-2 is an excellent language to learn with. It will help a great deal later when you go into software engineering in greater detail. Modularity is key to good project maintainability and reusability, at least thats what I keep reading in my Object oriented textbook. Modula-2 is object based and is probably the best learning high level language there is in my opinion.
