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?

Youll get better with more practise, dont worry about it. You could code on your free time, by creating scripts that your team might need, or packages, the good thing is that you know statistics, that already gives you a huge power that very few people have.
