If you want to learn a real and complex language, C++.

Also Visual Basic has a very good string management routines, and the structure of basic programs are much easier to understand than C.
I wouldn't recommend a BASIC language at all for the beginning programmer, it teaches too many bad habits (like goto) that have to be un-learned when you decide to drop the kid's language(VB) and go to a man's language(C++).
