C is the programming language.
OpenGL is an application programming interface(API).
I would suggest to learn C++ a bit(yes, you can get on without
it, but there''s no harm in learning it).
Then, I''d learn DirectX(someone''s gonna yell at me for that).
If you''re gonna do 3d, then you can choose between D3d and
OpenGL. There are a billion threads on that topic.
Learn to use the search button. ^_^

First off, OpenGL is not a language, it''s just a graphics library. You can use it in C to great effect (like id software have).
If you want to start games programming, start with something simple like Pong or Space Invaders, using DirectDraw or SDL.
Oh, and any terms you''re unfamiliar with, use Google before asking!

I agree. Learn C well, learn at least the basics of Win32, and above all (and this is not aimed at you personally) ...
