Try to write down what you want to do and choose your programming languages. After that try to make some easy code parts and if you need help because a code part doesn't work, then you can start to make a question in SoloLearn. Try it. Good luck!

abraham chukwukelu You're going to need to be more specific on what you're struggling with. I'm not sure what course you're referring to with machine language. Maybe you meant machine learning. 🤷‍♂️ If so, you've basically listed 3 very different paradigms and disciplines that don't really build on top of each other. Learning one skill does not help with learning another from your list. Machine Learning involves feeding data models into algorithms. HTML involves markup tags used to declaratively load the initial state of the browser DOM. Python involves explicit execution of control logic, data flow, and managing state via imperative programming. The toughest of the three to learn will likely be imperative programming with Python. It all boils down to practice, practice, practice until the concepts begin to click in your mind. On a side note, did you recently move to the USA. Because you're writing style is clearly not from the USA. 😉

abraham chukwukelu the best way to begin is to start practicing by coding. There were 'Try It' examples along the way in each course. I and millions of others here use their phones all the time on SoloLearn for coding and other things so mobility is not really part of the equation. If you don't understand go back over the material and examine. Some people / users take months to learn to some level of proficiency, you can too.

Then try and apply what youre learning as you learn it. You can't just watch someone fight and just know all of Bruce Lee's moves. Same way as you can't just stare at code and expect yourself to write your own. Learn the basics well, then make YOUR OWN project that has no help so you are forced to do it yourself. You will become very confused and very angry, but its all part of coding.

Did you try the tutorial code snippets on code playground?

Machine language is different from machine learning.

I suggest you do tutorials like basic python or html before moving on to machine learning.

well they arent really related to one another. plus, sololearn teaches the basics. Pick one direction, find out what all you need to learn, and learn it starting with the basics. You think this happens overnight? Becoming fluent in any language takes time, why wouldn't a coding language be any different?

Every time you learn a code write it somewhere then practice on it and do something similar to it

abraham chukwukelu If you are using phone then its good to switch to computer because when you switch to computer your practice and learning gets too faster that's why on phone you can just do theory work for better practice you need a PC so you can implement that things which you learn and second things do projects start with simple calculator , Password Validator etc so you can actually get to know how programming really works
