And btw to the OP. C is a simple language, not at all difficult for a newbie. It was the first real programming language I learned (if not counting Pascal, I disliked that one). Python is probably a good place to start with though.
No, C is a lot more complicated than assembler to learn. and if you havent learned both then you shouldnt talk about assembler unless you want to be a troll that argues about stuff you dont understand...

None of them are suitable for a beginner today, but since C is so complicated with both its similarity to a highlevellanguage , and its dependancy on lowlevel knowledge to fully understand it, it gets very complicated and a lot of stuff may not behave as expected in normal highlevellanguages like for example python, where the dependancy of the lowlevel stuff is well hidden.. .

PS, i learned assembler (or actually ML) on the rca 1802 processor, as my first programminglanguage , on a computer quite similar to this http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/Elf2K.htm
