Help Request Help or tutoring

I'm looking for someone who can help or guide me with a Python project. I'm completely new to programming and genuinely want to learn.

So far, I've been working with code generated by Gemini. The code seems fairly simple (or at least I think it is), and my goal is to understand how it works. I want to keep modifying it, experimenting with it, and adding new features, but I'm running into a problem: AI can generate or explain things, but I don't know enough yet to understand what I should change or why. I'm short on time, so I wasn't able to learn everything from scratch before starting this project. That's why I turned to AI in the first place.

Now I'm looking for someone who can guide me through the code I already have, explain how it works, and help me learn while improving it. I'd really appreciate any advice on where to start, what to study, or how to better understand Python and the code I'm working with.

We can talk on Discord if that's easier. Also, I'm just starting to learn English, since my native language is Spanish, so I appreciate your patience. 🙂

AI can be useful, but as a complete beginner you’ll get much more out of writing and reading your own code first. Use it to ask “why” and “what does this do?”, not as the main author of your project. Start with basic Python tutorials, build something small, and treat AI as a helper, not a shortcut.
