If you want to learn C, learn C. If you want to learn C++, learn C++. It's best to make a firm distinction between C and C++ and treat them as completely different languages. This minimizes confusion.

>There are some things in C that you have to "unlearn" for C++.
To say that you are "unlearning" C habits gives the impression that C++ is a better C (which it is not), and that you will never need C (which you likely will at some point).
