I don't know about the python one, but in the java and ruby courses you can try out the things you are learning in the code playground. Don't just look at the written there snippet, but try to delete it (you can make a screenshot first, for example, in case you will feel lost) and write it again by yourself, ideally even adding new things. If it works - congratulations, you've just learned a new thing! đ
And try to practice it regularly writing your own little snippets, with the basics it's easy since you are going to use them all the time and very quickly it will become automatic.

I know only one thing which makes you perfect in coding which is done projects.

Honestly, use it or lose it. Programming is a skill that requires consistent practice to develop your skills and retain what you learn. But dont fret, even experienced programmers with years of experience need to look things up from time to time. The important thing is that you remember core concepts and how things generally work. You may not remember how to do a sorting algorithm, for example. But if you can recognize that a sorting algorithm is the tool you need at that moment, you are half way to solving your problem. Knowing what tool to use is very important.
As Maninder said, projects are a great way to practice and challenge yourself. You will use the tools you have learned here to solve real problems instead of fill in the blanks. Applying what you have learned will increase your skill faster than any book or tutorial will.

Write code with the normal text editor or an simple ide that don't autocomplete the word's for you
it's like learning vocabularies
do it and do it again
good luck đ€âșïž

it helps to write it down on paper and do lines of what means what and connect lines fron one code piece to another so you can visualize why things work. it will also help you remember
also practice the code on your own. try to repeat the lesson wirh no help until you can do it without looking

As was said, writing code with your own hands as much as possible will have the greatest impact.
For remembering things that involve a lot of details or don't come up as often, read this:

By practice, repetition, cross referencing and reinforcing the synaptic connections in your brain.

Code simple snippets as you cover each topic about the topic. The following day, before reading anything, code what you remember even if wrong. Do corrections and let it be a habit...you don't wanna know how better you can become
