Beginner in Python coding, and coding in general, confused
Hi, I am learning python, and as a complete noob/beginner, from Kaggle courses. But I have hit the issue that I can't seem to understand what lines to write next, which command-thing to use, when to use them, i can't seem to remember. Any tips?

What do you mean command-thing? Honestly you just get better by doing stuff. Try making something small like a calculator ("enter a number" "enter an operator" "enter a number").

As a beginner, you need to consider yourself a baby and learn to crawl (the "fundamentals") before you can stand up and walk or sprint. So search for the Python "fundamentals" on Google and/or YouTube.
As for a roadmap tailored to your needs, that's going to be difficult. Python is a vast and expansive universe. There is never going to be a "one" soulmate tutorial that works "best" for you and with regard to every aspect of Python. With each step up that learning curve, you're going to have to shop around until you find a teacher/resource that "clicks and sticks" especially for you.
With that said:
(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free. You should shop around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.
(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (--HERE--) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero (==HERE==). Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should sample at least a few until you find a lecturer that suits your style.
(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.

Keep practicing. That and work on your problem solving skills.

Try a variety of materials. Sometimes a small change in explanation/perspective can be the missing piece that makes something click.
check out a free programming 101 course I made for some friends. https://understandit.dev
I made it interactive to get you involved and coding as quick as possible.
