I'm currently familiar with Python and I'm looking to expand my skills by learning a second programming language. Ideally, I want something that is statically typed and low-level enough to give me deeper insights into how Python operates behind the scenes, especially regarding memory management. I've been considering C or C++. Which one do you think is better, and do you have any recommendations on where to learn it?

Both C and C++ are great choices! C might be easier to start with due to its straightforward syntax, since it doesn’t include the object-oriented stuff you find in C++. C++ builds on C and adds more features, so you can choose based on your future goals. But yeah, if you want the basics first, you might want to look into C.
I recommend going for C++. It's a powerful language, and you can find great resources like learncpp.com which is fantastic for beginners to get a solid understanding.
Do you have any specific places you recommend for learning C?
