It is overwhelming where to decide start when there are so many programming languages. Survey a variety of languages and pick one that suits your end purpose or interest. Python is an okay first language because it is easy to read. I personally prefer JavaScript, C++, Java or C# as first languages. There is no wrong answer in what first language you pick to learn. After learning the basics of several languages you will realize that some languages belong to the same family tree, for example languages based on C, and all have similar syntax. Learn to put the simple language constructs together the way a child plays with building blocks or learns to construct a simple sentence and you will earn the props to call yourself a programmer. Practice writing out simple programs in "pseudo" language to deconstruct a problem and find a solution. Actually writing out syntax with pen and paper is also a good idea because you will be more engaged. Last but not least attempt SoloLearn Challenges.

I see you started Python. It is a promising language, stick to it. Don't try to learn more than one programming language at the same time, it will make you super confused, like him: https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1566003/?ref=app Also, do not practice in SoloLearn. Because it needs to throw codes back to their server for compilation, it forces you to input everything before the codes are sent back. This isn't how program works. Interactivity is one of the important aspects of programs. So get a computer, install a Python IDE, and code on your computer instead.
