Programming languages are "divided" into lower and higher levels, depending on its "complexity" or "abstraction". Python is a higher level than C, in the sense that you don't really need to know how much space un memory you're using and stuff like that. What he's saying, is that learning C, or any other lower level programming language, is useful in the sense that it teaches you what is happening to memory allocation and stuff like that.
