C, Python, and Java are probably the best languages to start with. You can achieve a lot with these three and it will make other languages much easier to learn.

Nothing exception when first language is assembler. It is even better actually. But of course more complicated and longer.

Typical example with C:

Code:
int auth_flag = 0;
char password_buffer[10];

and

Code:
char password_buffer[10];
int auth_flag = 0;

Person who studied assembler 100% know why first code is wrong and better to use second. While typical C developer - have no idea.

p.s.
It is possibly to test yourself before. Exist bunch of games where you need to code on simplified version of assembler. My favourite is EXAPUNKS:

Dr., to learn assembly you need a lot of knowledge from "lower" levels of computer abstraction. If you really want to learn assembly, first you need to study computer hardware.
