I’m fairly confident in Python abilities. I’d like to branch out and try some new languages. What’s the best language to learn after Python or a few languages in order of importance. Thanks!

If backend is still going to be your area of study, perhaps learn the basics of php (since it's still industry standard), maybe learn some golang (similarities to python, but strictly typed in comparison).
NodeJS is always good too, used both in back and front end situations (industry standard, currently part of the full stack meta).

Thank you I’ll take a look

GO is 2nd most often language (after python) i use in my daily activity

GO for it!

If u confident enough can tell Mr how To send emails using it??

Most people will probably recommend js.

in my opinion i'd go with c++, since knowing python will help you there, and you can use c++ for basically anything (not that you should), but that's my recommendation

Hmm, go to a low language like rust if you are ok with python.

I agree with this. C/C++ if you really want to dive down to computer science. Otherwise, I'll learn Rust or Go.

C
Lisp, Do not worry about common lisp versus scheme just choose one.
Do not just learn another language, try one that challenges you to think different and puts different constraints on you.
at least that is what helped me.

I mean really think about it
yeah you  "can" learn the semantics of a imperative language but after a few its no longer much of a challenge.
Lisp for example makes heavy use of meta programming with macros.
Erlang Makes you think about how to do thing without sharing data so you can get high concurrency.
Lisp is a solid one to play with.
Forth too a stack based language.
Yeah sure you might shrug it off but If i had the chance to tell my self to do it sooner i would have.
Do not think of these restrictions as bad.
There will always be more things to learn.
Also do not get stuck in all the hype around a language.
Memory safety is a massive fucking joke and rust is reddit: the language, there are banned numbers because they spell stuff in hex lol.
any criticisms of rust and its like you attacked jesus and committed sacrilege.

i guess it really does not matter what, just keep learning is all
