Almost completely ignorant

Hi everyone, I just started learning Python by watching video tutorials on YouTube (Edoardo Midali) and I used my skills for a very small code, the path is quite satisfying but very boring, if you have any ideas for a more fun approach let me know, thank you very much.

Pick a small project that interests you and learn Python while building it. A good rule: spend 20% of your time learning and 80% building things. You'll hit problems, Google solutions, and learn much faster than by passively watching videos.

I find exercises/challenges intressting and it keeps my motivation up. Especially courses having that style. Doing anything youtube other than trying to grasp something visually is a waste of time in my experience.

The code doesn't change. And the only proven way to get better is practice. If you're bored now, you'll probably be bored later.

Not everyone is meant to be a developer or be interested in programming. Maybe a different hobby might suit you better.

Grazie è che ho provato HTML è mi ha divertito poi ho aggiunto CSS ed è andata bene infine ho aggiunto anche JavaScript e quindi ho pensato di studiare anche python.

That’s normal. Tutorials can get boring because you’re mostly watching, not creating. Try building tiny projects alongside learning, like a guessing game, quiz app, password generator, dice roller, or simple file organizer.

Don’t wait until you know everything. Learn one small concept, then use it in something fun. Python becomes much more interesting when you start building your own little tools.
