I'm new to programming and learned Java a few months ago while making Minecraft mods. Now I'd like to broaden my skills by learning C#, partly because I want to use Unity. I know C# and Java have similar syntax, but I found Karel the Robot especially helpful because its interactive exercises made concepts stick through repetition and hands-on practice. Are there any engaging, interactive ways to learn C# that provide a similar experience? I'm willing to follow a video course if necessary, but I'd prefer something where I can actively solve problems and get immediate feedback.

CodinGame is worth checking out. It teaches programming through interactive puzzles and supports C#, so it can give you more hands-on practice than a standard video series.
Because C# is so close to Java, you may find that beginner-focused interactive tools cover familiar material pretty quickly. After reviewing the differences in syntax and the .NET basics, it may be more useful to practice with small C# projects and then move into Unity-specific exercises.
Microsoft's interactive C# beginner lessons are a good place to start. You could also build your own Karel-style exercise in C#: make a grid-based robot that can move, turn, and pick up or place items. That recreates the immediate feedback you liked while practicing methods, loops, and conditionals in real C#. Since you already know Java, you can probably move through the basic syntax fairly quickly before focusing on the exercises.
