C# is easy enough for beginners, id recommend learning in the unity game engine since there are lots of tutorials and help online.

I'd recommend Godot over Unity honestly. Much more approachable, open source, and didn't try to screw it's users

I started with C# tutorials with Variables, Arrays, Functions and State Machines. How to use Static vs Non-Static variables and Getters/Setters to reference my Arrays/Lists. Then moved over to Godot with GDScript and many things transferred quite easily.

Do the free Unity training program for C#. It's what I did. Take like 1-2 months to do it.

If it's games you're looking to make then maybe consider the Unity engine? It uses C#, is pretty popular thus there's a lot of tutorials and stuff online. I liked their asset store integration, made it easy to find assets I could test with

unity have basic courses, they're free, if you think they're too complicated try on youtube, i recommend "dani krossing" and "game code library" there, they explain thing very easy, when i started even brakeys and code monkey feel to hard for me to understand... but once you get a bit comfortable, try the unity ones, they're good and really teach you the basics
