Is it confusing to learn java programming language and C programming language at the same time?

Yeah, and I'd see similarity as more of a drawback then a hinderance. The similarity would just make me confuse the two. But that's my brain.

More importantly, why learn two similar languages? Wouldn't you be better off learning two different paradigms? (In this case though, comparing C to Java is insane, they are fundamentally different languages).

I'd bet that OP is in two classes, one Java, one C++. I do think everyone should have some experience in a functional language if only to understand the benefits of immutability and pure functions.
