Please give me some advice

Just to echo some of the other responses, I think a key is what kind of language are you wanting to know:

Databases - MS-SQL, MySQL, PL/SQL, and MS Access.

Web - PHP, Java, C# for server side. JavaScript, HTML, CSS for general pages. Flash and Silverlight for more eye candy stuff.

Then there's the usual C/C++, Visual Basic .Net, and other imperative languages which you may know a few already.

Consider a couple different kinds of Mathematical programming languages: Matlab for numerical analysis stuff or Maple for symbolic computation where these are wildly different areas as the former deals with floating point numbers and often approximates things and the latter leaves constants like pi or e alone in the computations and thus can be more prone to symbols.

Then there are AI-ish programming languages like Lisp and scheme.

Lastly, there is also the question of what kind of environment do you want to be in: Making games, web applications, windows applications, multimedia demostration stuff, etc.
