I'd go the opposite way. Learn C++ first. It's high-level enough so that one can 
learn it with a moderate amount of headache (NB you really should learn Pascal 
first but anyway...). Then learn C. C has the same grammar but is very low-level 
and more useful for making components for larger programs.
