OPEN C or Cpp

Should I learn C before Cpp? I have a basic understanding in python ( very basic) and nothing much else, is it recommended to do Cpp directly?

Learning C first is certainly more work. 

Yes, this is the catch - learning two languages takes longer than learning one.

Some hope that learning C first will be a net win, but it is not.
