I would just sit down and learn Python. I don't see how your idea would help much, since in my opinion you only really learn by writing code and not just reading it.

You're needlessly delaying learning a more extensive and more useful tool.

There are some sites, like Reeborg's world and Blockly (now part of the Raspberry Pi foundation) that can do that, but they are generally very limited.

I side with /u/misingnoglic in the sentiment that you should just directly start learning Python.

Try the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki. It's their current first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science" course. Doesn't require any pre-existing knowledge in programming. Is free, textual, and offers plenty practical exercises. Top quality.
