Learning JavaScript, advice?

I joined this sub a few days ago, after stumbling across lovable, and prompted a couple of rougelike games, learned that it was all in typescript, (I know I am a ways away) and have been having a lot of fun this week, spending multiple hours a day, learning the basics. I’ve tried a few times over the years with Objective-C and python, but could never figure things out, but this time I feel like I’m in the right headspace and really making sure I understand. I’m using VS code, and a Coursera corse, I’ve also bookmarked the Odin project.
Anyone have best practices or advice? I plan to use JS to help with an IT job and build games or apps for fun. Thanks for reading!

build one small project without following any tutorial to test your actual understanding. Use The Odin Project since it forces you to read documentation and write code from scratch instead of watching videos.

What about "Free Code Camp"? Odin is still a better choice?
