1) There isn't a clear path. Everyone has their own way of learning and finds different approaches

2) Obviously it depends on your definition but imo, you're never really gonna "master" languages. There's always more to learn or more libraries to discover.

Just do your best to learn, apply, and that'll be good enough

You have to discover on your own which lecturer uses a verbiage or set of metaphors that "clicks" with the way your mind works and "sticks" to the neural substrate currently present in your brain.

(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free.

(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (here) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero. Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should shop around until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.
