Well, a couple quick looks for "how to learn C on arduino" gives me a few hundred thousand hits... so, did you look at all?
How about a book?
How about a web tutorial?
How about some more web tutorials?

I have this book; I knew nothing about programming and this book really has done a good job so far on teaching me.
I would suggest this book first, to introduce you to C with immediate feedback, then a C++ book or further programming learning if you deem fit.
I love K&R, and in fact learned C from it 35 years ago. (At the time, there were very few books about computer languages of any kind, and only one about C!) However I don't think it's a very good book for beginning programmers. It's a succinct introduction to the language, not a tutorial to introduces concepts gradually to beginners.
So you might consider this, instead of (or in addition to) the K&R book:

Purdum's book covers C programming on Arduino in progressive detail, and directly addresses both hardware and software.
It's a fun hobby. Biggest learning curve is learning how to code. I didnt know a thing when I first started but the arduino community (link below) is really helpful with the process. They will even go over code you've written if your having issues.

A good starter kit. Comes with alot of goodies like the program used to write the code and compile it, the arduino itself, super sonic sensor, DC motors to name a few as well as data sheets for each piece:

Book recommended to me that helps with the more complex builds: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1259587541/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UrgLBb7STEDSA
My first project I made/wrote was to make a couple LEDs blink in specific intervals. May not seem like much but like I said, biggest learning curve is learning to program the arduino itself.
Good luck
