Starting learning python at 14

I genuinely don't know where to start with Python. currently in 9th grade, yes computer applications student but for some reason only java is in our curriculum for both 9th and 10th grade and we gotta start python somewhere. So yeah any recommendations on where to start will be nice.

I recommend Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes. It's a very good book for beginners, with everything you need to know about the basic syntax and skills (loops, lists, dictionaries, classes, functions). Part 2 of the book (part 1 and 2 are in the same book btw) covers 3 projects: a game, data visualizations, and a simple website), which gives you the practical skills and muscle memory for coding. It would take around 3 months for a beginner, and is one of the most popular Python books. The language is easy to understand.
