Best way to learn a new programming language fast?

Question

Share your tips for quickly learning a language from scratch.

Answer 1

What i recommend is:

1. Pick a Goal – Build something real (app, script, game).
2. Learn the Basics First – Syntax, data types, loops, functions.
3. Code Every Day – Short, consistent practice beats long gaps.
4. Follow a Project-Based Course – Learn by doing, not just reading.
5. Use Documentation & Google – Learn to find answers fast.
6. Build Mini Projects – Reinforce what you learn.
7. Read Other People’s Code – See how others solve problems.
8. Join a Community – Ask questions and share progress.
9. Teach It – Explain it out loud or write blog posts.

Key Tip: Learn by building. Don’t wait to “know everything” — just start coding.

Answer 2

First: learn one language slowly and well. After you have a solid foundation with one, then naturally you can a new language faster. There will be fewer new concepts.

Well, in this version of the app I don't have the "Generated with AI" button, so I suppose it doesn't matter, right?

Answer 8

Also, I'm helping fellow learners achieve their goals. We are surrounded by AI. Just accept it 😌 🤷 😊
