Hey everyone, I'm Tomy and I'm just starting out with Python. I'm hitting a wall in my learning process. I read books about Python, but I feel like I'm not making any real progress—I can understand code when I see it, but when it comes to writing my own, I struggle. What tips do you have for someone who's stuck and trying hard but not seeing improvements?

Absolutely, focus on building stuff! Try creating small daily projects like a simple calculator or a game. This hands-on practice can really help you move past that "I can read but not write" stage.
I totally get where you’re coming from. Instead of fixating on memorizing syntax, try to understand how the code functions. Websites, books, and your own past projects can always serve as reference points. Keep challenging yourself with projects, and remember, it's okay to hit roadblocks—just keep at it! You can do this!
Starting small with projects is key! In the beginning, it'll feel tough, but this is really the best way to learn. I spent years on tutorials without really getting it, but when I began working on projects, everything clicked for me.
Should I really prioritize projects over learning new concepts?
