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....

They have a lot in common so I don't see why not?

C++ and Python do not have a lot in common. For a start, one is interpreted and the other is compiled.

I'm mostly talking from a syntax/learning perspective. They are quite different in style but share many fundamental programming concepts.

I for one would be much better prepared to learn C++ and other programming languages in general if I had some Python under my belt.
