When I decided to learn Python seriously, I did what most people do.
I watched YouTube tutorials.
I read articles.
I even bought a couple of courses.
The problem wasn’t the content — it was the lack of feedback.
Every time I got stuck on a small detail, everything stopped.
Courses don’t pause. Videos don’t answer questions. Mentors aren’t available 24/7.
And most of the time, I wasn’t confused about everything — just one specific line of code.
What was missing
Looking back, I realized what I actually needed:
Someone to explain my code, not an abstract example
The ability to ask follow-up questions
Instant answers, even late at night
A safe place to ask “stupid” questions without judgment
Courses are structured, but they’re static.
Learning programming is not.
Switching to AI-assisted learning
Instead of buying another expensive course, I started learning Python with an AI tutor delivered via a Telegram bot.
The workflow became simple:
Write Python code
Paste it into the bot
Ask why it doesn’t work
Get a step-by-step explanation
Try again immediately
The biggest difference?
The feedback loop was instant.
Why AI worked better for me than courses
Here’s what I noticed after a few weeks:
✅ Answers are available 24/7
✅ Explanations adapt to my level
✅ I can ask unlimited follow-up questions
✅ I learn by doing, not by watching
✅ No pressure, no deadlines, no embarrassment
AI doesn’t replace fundamentals, but it removes friction.
And friction is what makes most people quit.
The cost difference matters
Most decent Python courses cost €200–€500.
This AI tutor costs:
€9.99/month
First 3 lessons are free
First mock interview is free
That made it an easy decision for me.
Final thoughts
I still read documentation.
I still practice on my own.
But having an AI tutor that responds instantly has changed how fast I understand things.

I’m curious — how do you handle being stuck when learning something new?
