Have you tried reading python books and doing exercises? You do not have to learn c++ first as stated above,just find good resources and put in the time,you will understand it like many before you

I would suggest for you to finish the python course and to practice as much as you can afford. The first steps may often look hard but it is worth to endure.

If Python is your first language, then it's normal to struggle at first. But, no matter what, never give up! Study the courses, and just practice. If you ever give up, you may lose motivation, and that's the key part in learning. Have fun!!

Yeah, Python is a very brain tasking programming language. But don't worry, the brain needs to be tasked anyway. 1. I suggest you know why you are learning it. 2. Understand its usefulness and various applications. 3. Pace your learning according to how fast you grasp things. 4. Have a note book to jot down as you learn (you can always recall your jottings). 5. Develop your own style of learning(make sure it's the one you find easy). 6. Choose a specific time of the day your brain is most active to learn. 7. On SoloLearn follow active individuals and share your challenges as you learn. Also, post on areas you need more clarity. 8. Play challenges as you learn on SoloLearn. 9. Find other sites, that have Python coding practices. 10. Solve simple mathematical problems in your spare time, this makes your brain very alert. 11. Play good games, I recommend infinity loop from Google play store. 12. Sleep well, eat well, take lots of water (water is food for the Brain), exercise, and DO NOT GIVE UP.

get some python code and step through the execution using a debugger best way to learn how the program works using step execution and watches on the variables as the program executes. can be fun to figure out how other people wrote there programs using this method

Alternatively, you may need a laptop and an IDE (I recommend Pycharm). Start learning Python again and put your skills to test on Pycharm, boom, YOU ARE A STAR! Also, you will reach some parts in Python where you might be confused (Especially OOP). 'Just Youtube it!'. Go to YouTube, search the topic, watch till you understand and get back to Sololearn to learn that topic again!. EDIT: Make sure to watch youtube videos at the top only!. [Coreyms youtube channel - is one of the best options]
