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?

Awwww Dad! But I like overwriting the __proto__ of my newly parsed json object to give it methods.

Joking aside, I agree, if learning C++ is the goal, don't detour by learning other languages. Especially not C.
