When it comes to computer programming and software engineering, the language is not important. Many newbies always ask "Which language is best?" etc and there is not one single answer. The most important thing is just starting to program and learning how to solve real-world problems, starting with easier tasks and progressing your way up as you learn the syntax and different problem-solving techniques.

However, I'd say Python is one of the easiest languages to start off with and learn, it's also quite versatile and can be used for web apps, scripts, software, IoT, data manipulation/analysis etc. C is a lot harder, but definitely worth learning at some point because it's used in many applications and software around the world. C is crucial from Linux to 3d game engines.

I highly recommend both languages, but Python is definitely the 1st choice for beginners.
