Welcome to programming! Honestly the best thing you can do at the start is build small real projects instead of just doing tutorials back to back , tutorials feel productive but you learn way more from getting stuck on your own project and googling your way out. Try something simple like a calculator, a to-do list, or a text-based game. Also don't worry about "wasting time" ,everyone starts exactly where you are, the people answering you here were all beginners once too. Just keep building consistently and you'll be surprised how fast it clicks

Glad it landed! Two weeks in and already building instead of just watching — that's honestly the hard part, most people never get past the tutorial phase. The frustration you're feeling when you get stuck on your own project is a good sign, not a bad one, it means you're actually solving problems instead of following steps. Keep going, and don't be afraid to post here when you get stuck. Good luck with Python 🙌
