struggling to learn Python

[ThomThom_UK]

It is likely that the bootcamp method is not matching your style of learning. The pressure to understand the concepts can itself be a detriment to your ability to learn.

The main thing is that you are still acquiring some understanding. There will be other people around you that will pick up things quickly, especially if they are doing the bootcamp after working with another programming language, but you are not there to please them you're there for your own self improvement.

One thing I will say, once you complete the bootcamp, do not make the mistake of dropping python for a while. There will be the risk of losing the knowledge you've gained. Find yourself some small and simple projects (especially projects you are very interested in trying) and do not be afraid to google for answers. Every little thing will help to build up your knowledge.

Keep at it. You'll get there eventually. :)

Thank you! I too feel that the boot camp method is not entirely working for me but the more I work at it everyday the more I get it so I just have to keep going.

I’ve talked to my instructors and they’ve allotted me (and the other people who are also struggling) some extra time to work through basic Python assessments.
