Coding is a skill like speaking, swimming, etc. There are different ways to learn - courses, books, problem solving, hands-on project, etc. But one thing is common: "the only way to learn to code is to write a lot of code". There are different programming languages. Donot stuck in the one you feel difficult or you dont like. It is also OK if you feel coding is not your passion. As some people are not good at math, they may find their talent in drawing or sports. Coding is just a skill.

Totally agree! Also more times than not, the first step is always the hardest to take. The first language you choose to learn isn't that critical—it's more important to start learning.
