This statement leads me to believe it would take a few weeks to learn and several lifetimes to master.

few months to become a beginner. You need a good guide and nothing else. But If you want make more complex things as to write linux driver, you take longer.

CS student here. It takes about 2 months to grasp the basics. By a year you should be proficient.

Define "good as a beginner". Do you mean making a hello world program? Or do you mean making a program to catalog your game (or song) collection?

A total beginner in C could make a tick-tack-toe game in as little as an hour, presuming they didn't get stuck on debugging for a few weeks.

C is actually a trivial language to learn. It has a few gnarly things, but for creating a basic "hello world" program, you can learn it in 15 minutes or less.

The hard part about programming in C is all the meta stuff. That is, techniques to write code that is readable, maintainable, robust, bug free, etc etc etc.

So, 1 day to learn, a lifetime to master is the correct answer.

How long would it take to learn carpentry? At its base, it is just driving a nail into wood, cutting wood, and getting things plumb and level. But there's a whole lot more to carpentry than just beating on wood (there is a remarkable amount of trig and basic geometry, for instance).
