Brushing up on Python 3 is definitely a good idea. It's the most common introductory language taught, so if you want to dabble in teaching you'll need to be up on it. Plus, if you want to do any freelance gigs you'll likely be dealing with data processing and other tasks using it. The new standard of C++ will seem different than what you recall, perhaps, and it's also worth learning (or relearning). It's the language for critical infrastructure, so you may find some practical use for it depending on the work you want to do while semi-retired.

I wouldn't bother with C++.
Python is the premier language right now. It gives you exposure to frontend, backend, and AI. It is very easy to learn. Whitespace is a hassle but aside from that, no complaints as some things are just easier such as using -1 to get last index or reverse a string.
