No. Would you then learn assembly to understand C better? Once you have the basics of syntax and semantics your next step is the OOP and FP paradigms used in Python for simple programs. Then a deep dive for a solid grasp of data structures and algorithms would be the last step. After you have these 3, you should be able to write mid to high level programs comfortably.

Which of these 3 aspects do you feel C would help you understand better?

Maybe you are asking this question because you want to understand programming languages and how they work in which case a course in compilers and programming languages from a MOOC would help.
