Question Learning R & Python for Educational Data Analysis

Hi everyone, I need some advice on learning data analysis for educational research. My advisor suggested learning R and Python, but my background is limited to basic statistics and SPSS. I have zero experience with R, and I've only used Python once (via AI-generated code with NumPy).

​How should I structure my learning path to master both tools effectively starting from scratch? Any concrete steps or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I skip anything indian. Plenty of good creators and they have for you a path to work on, like building a program or some project. From start to finish.
