You answered your own question when you said, "both languages are new to me".
Then you should not be using a framework just yet.
Sure, a framework may speed your app along, but at what cost? At this point, you should be more concerned with getting a solid grounding in your technology of choice. That means coding as close to native mode as possible.
Once you have spent time "in the trenches" and even "suffered" a little, you'll have a much clearer picture of exactly why you may need a framework. Then you'll be in a much better position to evaluate which one is best for you.
Well, if it's not a very serious project, why not try using something you've never used before. Side projects are great opportunities to learn and grow as a developer, so my advice is to not let unfamiliarity of a language hold you back.
That said, I agree that frameworks are not a silver bullet by any means. There are many problems where frameworks are appropriate, and there are many where they aren't

In the meantime, have as much fun as you can.
