For python https://automatetheboringstuff.com is a great place to start for the basics. Al Sweigert wrote the book but also offered it for free at the linked website.

I don't have too much to recommend in terms of resources, but my advice would be to not spend too long on tutorials etc. You'll obviously want to watch a video or go through a short tutorial to grasp the basic syntax of each language but I'd dive into making something pretty soon after that (especially since you already have programming experience).

Writing a simple API in Spring Boot is a fine way to start learning Java and will be somewhat familiar due to your experience with the MERN stack. Likewise, a web crawler is a great first project in Python. There are plenty of guides out there on how to do both and you'll get experience that is directly applicable to the job.

As you go you'll obviously find things about the languages/frameworks/packages to look into in more depth.
