I am a new member and I want to know what programming languages are essential for someone who wants to learn reverse engineering (extracting whatever type files). Is assembly language, for example, essential? Are learning C#, C, C++, JAVA, etc... required? And what language is best to start with?

Assembly language because when reverse engineering, you are looking at assembly code such as x86 or PPC etc.

Assembly is essential when it comes to Rev Eng. Here's a nice answer from Stack Overflow which should give you an idea of your answer. Good luck!
