avoid assembly unless you want to go into really hardcore hacking, device drivers, os creation or intense game engines. while assembly is easy to learn it takes a lot more code than any other language.
for example
this C code
Code:
aFunction((a*b/c),c*c);
would look like this in assembly
Code:
mul $c, $c
push $c
mul $a, $b
mov $a, %eax
idiv %eax, $c
push %eax
call aFunction
