As a coding newbie, what coding language would be best to learn for mobile app development and why?

As a coding newbie, what coding language would be best to learn for mobile app development and why? From what I have researched so far, it seems like it might be best to try to learn SQL (for databases), Python (for all platforms), and possibly SWIFT (for iOS). But is my assessment misguided and would there be better coding languages to focus on in looking to the future and to the current trends/demand of coding languages? Thanks for any and all input anyone can give me!

Java/Kotlin for Android development. Swift for iOS development. SQL for any development that involves databases. ^That's what I recommend. Doesn't hurt to learn Python (can't believe I'm saying that...), but I'd focus on those first for mobile and then branch your knowledge out into Python.

I'd thoroughly recommend Python if you're starting out and maybe struggling to get your head around the logic and way of thinking. Once you're proficient it's pretty easy to transfer to another language. In all honesty, Sololearn isn't going to get you to mobile app developer stage. You need to start applying these skills. So I'd say get the programming down first, start practicing some simple problems. Not going to lie, it's a bit of a climb to get there but you definitely can :)
