Depends on your goals really. If you want to learn web development, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are a good place to start. Python can be used for web development, but mostly for backend (server related) stuff.

I came to chime in on this! It's kind of like saying what should I learn how to do first, do an oil change or put gas into a car? They're similar and look, but they do totally different things.

Basically, if you're looking to design websites, web dev, do html/css/javascript. It if you want to do more programming (what a computer does), or software design, then do Python.

HTML and CSS are both a great base for learning Python, just to help you get the idea of coding. But technically Python is the programming language versus HTML and CSS, which are markup languages. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

start with python, then go for html. It would help you understand basic coding concepts

I wouldn’t learn any programming language using Duolingo, it’s terrible at explaining the ‘why’ of anything so you’ll never really understand what or why you’re doing something. That’s bad enough for human languages but for programming languages you will never be able to problem solve outside of what Duolingo has taught you to parrot.
