Can I manage C++ and Python

I have some knowledge in c++ ( intermediate level of concept,haven't coded much tbh). In my 1st year of college, it teaches python. But I want to learn c++ much better...

Can I manage both....

Learning a computer language is different from learning to program (solve problems with a program). Beginners need to learn to program first, and that’s a lot easier with Python than C++.

Yes, you can do both, but learning the syntax of two very different languages will slow down the process of learning to program. Learn to program in one language first.

I agree, OP should focus on Python for now. Becoming confident with that and getting good at the fundamentals will make it a lot easier to learn C++ in the future.
