I taught myself, but I had to find the right way to learn- it had to be visually stimulating and engaging. I can't do the Udemy style video courses. I'm not sure if it's the same as it was, but I super enjoyed Codeacademy. The courses were all interactive and visually showed me what I was doing. They were also in small chunks and built upon each other. Also, know that while most languages appear different, they're all fundamentally doing the same thing, so try to find one which feels fun for you; once you're proficient with the basic concepts, you'll start seeing them in every language!
