My uncle told me to start with Python, but a friend said C is better for basics

My uncle, a software engineer, said Python's simple syntax is best for new coders. My friend argued that learning C first teaches you how memory really works. I went with Python and built a small number guessing game in a weekend. Which language do you think is actually better for a total beginner?

Honestly, none of them. I just end up reading about projects instead of starting my own. The idea is fun but the work feels too big. What's the point if you never actually make anything?
