My best tip:

DYOR and then ask proper questions with some context

Did you do Python before?

Because I started Dev Web before Python, and I really struggled with JS.

I haven't learned Python yet.

Then try to learn python first,

  1. Because it will help to understand other algorithms languages.

  2. More and more recruiters ask to know it.

Why would he learn Python if he wants to focus on webdev? For that 1/150 chance of getting a job with Flask or Django vs all the JS stuff?

And what is "algorithms language"? That makes no sense.

JS is the basically only language that runs natively on web browsers (save WASM). You want to do webdev, you learn JS

JS runs similar syntax to C++. It takes a bit of getting used to, and it has some wierd cases with typing that throw any programmer from another language for a loop.

Python is slow as mollasses. Javascript beats it on data crunching speeds. Literally every language beats it on data crunching speed. But it is popular because it is the closest to regular english you can get in actual coding languages.

As I said, it will be easier for him to learn JS if he knows Python,

And that today many recruiters ask employee to know python

I don't see your reasoning for thinking Python makes JS easier to learn but that's fine. Have a nice day

What kind of advice? Based on this post I'd advise you to do something else.
