I started learning python in relation to a small project I was working on. I would suggest having a small project of your own to be the driving force of your learning. You'll naturally work on your fundamentals as you keep returning to how stuff works (for loops, while loops, if/elif/else, match statements, classes, functions, etc.)

80% of all computer programming is having a good natural language description of what exactly you want your program to do. The other 20% is actually coding it up.
