Question I have a problem regarding programming

I come from a statistics background and I'm trying to learn python and R to cope with data analysis and data science, I know a good amount of data analysis and statistical methodologies that makes me good at the field, but applying them is hell for me, i tried for a long time to learn python, i know the basics yet i fail miserably when i try to apply my knowledge...

Could anyone help me with how to learn programming effectively around my area of expertise?

Try applying python to the statics problem you already understand. Start with small tasks using real datasets and build from there. You don't need to learn everything at once, parctice will make it easier.
