I have to assume you're serious and I'm a bit surprised. Of all the many languages out there, why C? I think it's a terrible language to learn from (as is C++ - and bear in mind that I wrote one of the first ANSI-validated C compilers and was involved with the design of C++). There's too many 'nuts and bolts' issues in C that just get in the way of solving problems and, more to the point, for newbies there are way too traps and pitfalls (there are whole books on the subject of such traps and pitfalls!).
