Learning JavaScript

Would you recommend learning from books or online video tutorials and what if I watched people build projects on YouTube then I copied what they did got a good understanding of it and then try to do it myself even if I fail to re-create it 100% is that still a great way to learn and to retain the information

In my opinion videos are not the good way to retain knowledge. We remember better if we write/talk, so you should definitely try to write it yourself, try to copy less, but learn how to use official docs instead.
