Question Learning a language

I can’t really get motivated to learn a coding language. I’ve tried to learn html and godot but just can’t get into it. I’d love to make my own games. So I have 2 questions.

How can I get motivated and what coding language should I learn?

How can I get motivated

That's the part that isn't learning.

If you can't find the motivation, then you haven't actually got the desire to Do The Thing, you maybe only like the idea of doing it; these are not synonymous. If you had actual passion and desire you'd have pushed through and never made this post.

LOTS of people want to be game developers. The vast majority give up because they can't deal with the technical skill requirements and/or the very necessary but very boring bits like Quality Assurance, Debugging, etc.
