Try out MacOberon, a free implementation of Oberon for the Mac. Oberon
is well suited as a language to learn about Object Orientation, since
it focuses on the essentials. The book "Programming in Oberon" by
Reiser and Wirth (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-56543-9) is exceptionally
well written. The Oberon distribution itself contains substantial
documentation as well.

MacOberon is available from neptune.ethz.ch in directory Oberon. 

The only caveat I have: MacOberon will not run with AutoDoubler
installed. I will keep bugging Fifth Generation Systems about that,
though.
