Ask HN: Should I learn C or C++?

I am going to college in the US in September as an international student but my school year finished in January. I have about 8 more months of doing nothing on my hands and had thought about learning C or C++ just because I have always heard that they give you a good base knowledge of how other languages work under the hood. I would say I'm fluent in Java, Swift and Python.

Do you have any recommendations for which one I should tackle (or neither)? If you had a good resource to help me learn as someone who isn't a beginner, that would also be great too. Thanks.
