So if I were to learn C, where would I start?

Ideally: by dropping the idea of starting with C altogether. Very bad choice!

Better start by reading the following short article by Peter Norvig (director of research at Google):

"Tech yourself programming in 10 years" ( http://norvig.com/21-days.html )

The title is a satirical reference to all those "Teach yourself X programming in Y days" books/tutorials. He explains why such promises are just empty marketing slogans, and gives very reasonable arguments for choosing which language to learn first.
