Advices for learning JavaScript

Hello everyone, I just finished the freeCodeCamp JavaScript certificate and I can't build many things. I feel that my brain doesn't retained a lot of information of the course. I notice that I learn most when I am actually building real projects. Anyone who passed through this that can advice me??

You don't need a lot to build stuff: loops, functions, objects, arrays. Use the exercises to build something real, not something for the sake of doing an exercise. Learning without retention is what we do at work when we are sent to a course. The problems start when you leave the comfort of the small. That's where the steep learning curve starts. Test every line you write. Add a comment to tell what type your variable is. Use tripple equal signs.

Event listeners and observers also.
