"Learn C in a weekend" (or afternoon) is akin to getting accustomed to a new model of car, _with prior driving experience_.
Each car has its own quirks, each programming language has its quirks. Learning C from the background of already knowing how to program is like driving a new Ford Focus off the lot and getting used to it.
Learning C++, on the other hand... is expecting you to pilot a jumbo jet after your only experience was the Ford Focus.
