Of course that's what I said. They are still different languages. But when you are familiar with C I guess with some practice you understand C++

Agreed, what I meant is that if your goal is to learn C++, just start directly with C++ and forget about C (for now). This way you can start with the right practices (for C++) from the beginning.
There's a nice talk (with a very misleading title) from Kate Gregory "Stop teaching C" CppCon 2015 which I found very illuminating when approaching C++ professionally for the Nth time
