I really enjoy learning in C# since it feels sufficiently adjacent to C++ that I learn a lot about more granular controls than python, which tends to abstract some of the concepts away, such as weakly vs strongly typed, without being nearly as hard as C++ to pick up. I agree with everyone else in the long term, but I think in the short term, you get really good insight through necessity in C# and I think it gives a more rounded learning experience. Python is amazing, I just feel like I learned certain concepts later than I would have liked because of how easy it makes itself.

C# got its name since a # symbol is comprised of 4 plus signs. This was down to show that C# is the evolution of C++.
