My first language was BASIC... Because that was the only thing my mum could teach me when I was little.
Then I think, I taught myself PHP because I used to notice the .php extension in submitted forms and such and I wanted to do that (LOL) Took me 4 years? 8 years to 12 I think... Meh, I must've done things like bash and batch scripts before PHP...
Then I started with C, and discovered Game Programming... Since most OpenGL, SDL etc tutorials were in C++, I moved to it... My early programs that were in C++ had bits from C here and there, took a while to completely learn C++ ways of doing things. It's been almost four years since then, 13 years to 17, and now I'm comfortable with almost all features of C++.
Learning languages like Ruby, C# etc took like a week or less after I completed C++.
I never really took training, picked up things from books and online resources...
