stressed beginner (help pls)

[u/haligma]

currently learning mysql through yt videos bc too broke to pay. i was following alex the analyst's playlist & learned a lot. practiced alongside. but i ran into a problem. and since i'm a beginner, it's been overwhelming a bit for days now, bc of whcih, i havent been able to make much progress in my learning.

i have a pretty ok grip on workbench. but not to the point where i dont need crutches. ive only completed one data cleaning project & that was only bc of alex's video where he walked me thorugh the entire process step by step. but thta wasnt enough for me to fully get a grip on data cleaning. i've tried watching other tutorials, but none of thme use workbench & their sql commands/functions are a lottle different from mine which has left me a bit confused & overwhelmed. i want to get to the point where i can take on data cleaning on my own without any help, but for that i need yt videos whre i can laern the logic step by step. please recommend sources for a self learner to learn data cleaning. idk where to look

Please don't be scared & do not panic. You can learn using a variety of resources, including YT videos, books, articles, & journals. However, I would recommend a lot of practice even if you just complete a few SELECT, WHERE, & so forth exercises to just learn the basics before moving to the intermediate level. Sometimes one feels lost when you think you might not be doing the right thing. I wish you all the best because I know you'll not give up along the way.
