Thought Python would finally click for me in my 30s, so I signed up for a freeCodeCamp course in Denver and quit on day 4

I figured if I just sat down and did the lessons in order it would stick, but by day 4 I was copying the answers without understanding the loops at all. Turns out retyping the code from memory 3 times before moving on was the only thing that actually made it stay. Has anyone else had to slow way down at the basics, or is breezing through lessons normal for you?
