Hi Ignacio,

In the introduction to Game Development with Unity, it states "If you've never programmed before, this is a great place to start." So no, you don't need to go in already knowing C#.

In terms of whether you should learn other programming languages, it's a good long term goal to learn multiple languages to broaden your understanding of how everything fits together, but you certainly don't need to learn multiple languages at once when you're first starting (and doing so may be overwhelming if you aren't careful).

Unity 5 is used in the first Unity course here.

Hope that helps!

I don't think you'll have any real problems if you're already familiar with code logic, but you can always find help here if you do.

Happy coding!

Is unity free?

That depends on what you want to do with it. Personal is free, but Plus/Pro/Enterprise aren't, and they have increasing levels of customization and options.
