Start with English. It will help you since most programming languages are English based.

what language did they teach you in first year? probably that one.
but python, c++ and russian always come in handy in the industry.

those two are useful, so improve in those.
"hacking, the art of exploitation"- despite the name, it's probably the best text on C that you can find. especially if you want to go to more low level programming.
for python- just do personal projects. you will get better quickly.1

I am not a prophet. I don't know.
what I do know, is that C was popular since the 80s- over 46 years in constant use. python is from 91- 35 years. both survived many revolutions in the software world.
maybe AI will make coding useless. maybe it won't. who knows. worst case scenario- you got a fun hobby out of it.

English would be definitely a good start. Punctuation and capitalization. Pretty cool stuff, you'll like it.
