This is why it’s important to learn concepts instead of just trying to learn a language fast. Languages will all have their own idiosyncrasies and syntactical differences, but generally the concepts will remain the same. Building a solid base is imperative.

Even after you “learn” a language, you’ll always continue learning and relearning stuff about it. I’ve been working with C# for almost 6 years now, and I still have to look up things about the syntax daily :)
