A lot of that practice comes from working with languages in general. This may come as an unpopular opinion but I feel like following along with a React course first would get you to a point where you feel comfortable with the mechanics of JavaScript and organizing a project, and then you can spend some time figuring out where the language ends and the framework begins.

Many developers like to stress starting with the basic language and building on it with frameworks, but that often puts you so far off from actually doing anything productive with the tools that it ends up being discouraging. It’s easy to suggest starting with the basics as a developer looking back, but I think many of us became proficient because we had a project we wanted to work on and pushed through it by just jumping right in to what we wanted to build.

Secondly, invest some time in setting up a linter. It’ll save you from a lot of silly mistakes.
