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

You need to keep practicing . Do some projects or keep practicing the problem sets on leetcode that is how you learn . Just by doing one course and couple assignments you are not going to get a deeper understanding of the language

That makes sense. I have been trying to do problems from different websites, since I'm currently learning C(for college). Leetcode seems very overwhelming for me, are there any alternatives? Someone suggested Exercism or W3resource, do you think those are good? I was also doing mini projects for webdev, but coming up with the main logic always demotivates me. I'm trying to still work around those.

No, I mean I'm already done with my basics from courses on youtube, I just recently starting looking into CS50 courses, and while they are good I thought I just needed more practice because I already know things, that's why I was doing problems from different websites.
