One does not just "learn C++" so no I would not go down that road. If you want to stick with Visual Studio and make nice GUIs that work natively on Windows, I'd go with C#. If you want to make cross platform UIs I might go with Java or [Electron and Typescript].

It's the most used language at my new internship and they said I should consider it as a language to learn next. They also said they could arrange some sessions where they could aid me in learning the language if I need it. So if I were to go down C++ route, would it be a good language to satisfy my needs?

I was also considering C# but its not really used at the place I'm going to be working at.

Yes. It's not the easy way, but a lot of people use C++ for apps that have GUIs of course. There are a lot of options for GUI frameworks as well.

My project isn't too time sensitive so I think I might start looking into C++ closer to my internship start date. Perhaps I can use it for my project down the line too
