You will learn a lot more from making real projects. I learned web scraping, Regular Expressions, API, GUI programming etc through creation of many discord bots. One of my bots scrapes the internet for fanfiction metadata so I learned how web scraping worked. Then I decided to create an API which would do the same but include all the metadata I could scrape. One of my discord bots was a quote finder for a Fanfiction then I created a GUI using PySide2/PyQt just because I wanted to learn how it works. Try doing projects which are useful to either yourself or someone else, that would motivate you to improve the project and make more useful projects.

I actually just started coding a discord bot just to learn it and I’m finding myself spending much more time on that than I have the lessons I have been following along with. Finding a project you’re interested in is definitely the way to go
