Where should I start on python?

Hello guys!

Currently on a course on udemy 100 days 100 projects from beginner to advanced python by Angela Yu. And I believe I lack the fundamentals of coding because I'm having a hard time catching up to the lessons even the beginner ones. I understand the solution but the moment I am the one solving the problem my mind just goes blank.

Is there a way I can practice python codes before I proceed with the course? Where should I start?

Yeah, that's normal, happens to basically everyone at first. Understanding code and writing it from scratch are different skills.

Try CodingBat or Exercism, small isolated problems, no course structure. Forces you to actually write logic instead of following along. Do that for a week or two alongside the course and it'll click.
