That's a good enough answer to your question: focus on what you're going to use.

I am 15 and would like the easier one.
Well, I'm 51 (I'm expecting wisdom and maturity to overtake me Any Day Now ...)

Anyway, if you spend time and effort on C first, and that's not what you're going to be using, that doesn't seem the easiest way to me.
