In my CS degree we learned C with malloc/free in the first semester. Now they're learning Python.

I think that's a good idea. C is a fantastic second language to learn in order to know what's happening in the background, but for a total beginner it can be needlessly frustrating.

But you can first learn the subset of C which doesn't use pointers and such, just normal variables and loops (which I studied in high school).
