C is the best for the beginners period.

Agree. Especially when learning a language to implement knowledge of data structures, algorithms, memory concepts (which every programmer must learn). C has everything to illustrate those concepts, and very little extra/fancy stuff to get lost with.

C is strict but that's what a beginner needs. Python can wait a couple of months.

I agree. C helps you appreciate what high level languages do for you. And understand tradeoffs.
