How should I attempt to apply what I'm learning?

Question

I have a (very ambitious) project in mind for when I have learned Python; however, before I get to that point I believe I will need to first practice creating something smaller and closer to my "beginner's" status. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You should learn and test together I think, I learnt Python like that.

Answer 2

Personally, I was thrilled to have accomplished a simple database manager. It added or removed entries based on different commands entered by the user. Also read from files and saved to them.
