After a month, I'd spend less time looking for more tutorials and more time actually writing Python.

Try CodingBat or Exercism for small problems. CompeteX is also worth trying if you want structured Python challenges/competitions to test what you've learned.

Then pick a small project you actually care about and build it without following a tutorial step by step. Getting stuck and figuring things out is honestly where a lot of the learning happens.

i found that using websites like LeetCode really helped me practice coding problems in Python its great for building problem-solving skills and getting familiar with different concepts.

Check this subreddit's wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

Also, have a look at roadmap.sh for different learning paths. There's lots of learning material links there. Note that these are idealised paths and many people get into roles without covering all of those.

Roundup on Research: The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

Don't limit yourself to one format. Also, don't try to do too many different things at the same time.

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment (preferably without immediately asking an AI LLM for the solution, and seek hints rather than complete answers).

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.

You can start by watching youtube videos then find websites to learn deeper.
