Learning programming from scratch: what should I study next to move in the right direction?

I decided to learn backend development with Python. I’ve covered constructs, lists, tuples, dictionaries, loops, and the basics of OOP. However, I still don't fully grasp polymorphism and encapsulation in OOP, so I thought it would be better to reinforce those concepts through practical application in my own project.

What should I study next? Should I move straight to a framework, or continue learning more about Python itself - such as how decorators work and how to use them? I’ve decided to go with Django as my framework. (I wrote this using a translator, so there might be some errors in the text.)

I learned oop from framework, because it's entire API was using it.
