Is there a way to learn these two languages simultaneously?
I'll have need of both of them, for my final year project in a few months time.
Yes and no- treat them as seperate languages. Full stop.
C++ isn't a language to learn in a few months and both have different objectives.
How far could someone get with c++ in a few months?
Maybe spending a few hours a week going through books and doing exercises?
You have a final-year project in a few months requiring Python and C++ (what a pair!) knowledge, but you don't know either languages?

Yeah, for some reason, we learn basic and I mean basic C in the second year. Then all the final year projects that are programming based use c++/python or some specific language used either for supercomputers or large amounts of data.
They tell us we don't need to know anything to do them and that we will pick it up as we go along. But I just want to get a head start.
So I don't want to turn this into a python vs c++ thread but I guess I need to pick one to get to grips with over the summer. Just choosing what one is the issue.
C++ is impossible to get down as an expert in a few months - but here's the place to start getting it down.
Python can be learned on a whim anywhere else given a sufficient grasp of the concepts because it adheres to the One Guido-ish Way rule (and the semantics of most of the language is obvious). Methinks it was meant to be a mix of ideas anyway.

Go for C++ but don't treat it as the only one you want to get down.
You'd be doing very well to get far enough in c++ alone in such a short time... Python I hear is a lot easier though I don't know a lot about it.
Python is pretty easy to pick up. It was my first language and the basics of it are pretty much intuitive. It's a really nice language imo.
