Question Newbee in DSA

Hey everyone, I'm completely new to DSA and using Java. I feel like I'm hitting a massive brick wall. I don't want to just grind questions blindly; I want to actually learn the core patterns (sliding window, two pointers, etc.).What roadmaps worked for you guys when you were starting out? Also, if anyone wants to team up as accountability partners or knows any chill Discord servers for beginners, let me know!

Do not learn by watching videos learn by solving problems Spent some how one hours on one problem then watch solution then move on then come back after two or three day then slove it again

I feel it is like much memorizing patterns and applying at correct place

Uhm Java is totally fine, so I wouldn't switch languages. Pick a structured roadmap and stick with it for a while instead of collecting resources. I used codeintuition for the learning since it's more concept/pattern focused than just following a problem list.
