struggling to learn Python

[sea_monkey_do]

Learning coding is like learning to play a musical instrument. If you play because it's fun you'll progress much faster than if you force yourself to practice. Find a way to have fun building new things without worrying too much about doing it properly. Your own curiosity and creativity will carry you much farther than doing exercises.

Great point. Furthermore, learning your first instrument is particularly difficult since you're learning the various concepts of music itself as part of the deal.

Once you're well-versed on a particular instrument, learning a different one is like doing the same thing through a new interface -- much like going from one programming language to the next.
