Python Help Practicing Python

Hello!

I'm a first year Computer Science student learning how to program. The language we are going to be learning in my class (for first semester anyways) is going to be Python and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I could practice python in my own time? Programming is something I am deeply passionate about and want to do good at, so I'm hoping I can get some help with this! :)

Start low - understand the commands and what they do and how the language is structured (syntax). Then, you can find simple things to do. Easiest one that can balloon up
Is some sort of text-based program - print something to the console and take an input and act on it. Then add error handling. Then build out the logic. Introduce “randomness”. And so on.
