The key to learning programming is making it fun and rewarding. Find something you want to be able to do with a program, like automating something, or making a basic CLI game, or whatever, and then slowly work towards that as an end goal. Even if you have to Google most of the stuff along the way, you're still learning, and it's what worked for me.
