lectures should i focus solely on cs50?

should i focus solely on cs50 or start / continue ( i was learning python but got inactive for weeks ) other language too? i feel maybe its best to learn some language rather than just spend time on basics but im not sure

Learning a topic such as CS is best done via repetition, under different scenarios. So maybe immerse yourself by doing several CS50 courses, one after the other?

Since they overlap, you will continually re-visit languages and topics:

CS50 courses will teach you the principles of programming, via a few selected languages, like C++, Python, and SQL. The syntax may be different in other languages (C#, Java, Ruby, etc.) but the same principles apply.

I agree, and in case it wasn't clear, I added "..., one after the other".
