That's why you see most tutorials build something, like a blog, a to-do app, a game. But even then, you follow along without real personal purpose. If it's your own project or something you are passionate about, you work towards real value you want to give through your work.

Learning without a project is like examining jigsaw puzzle pieces. When you build something, that when you start to make the connections.

The one thing that slowed my learning when I started out was not knowing how a concept in programming could be applied in the real world. When I started to learn along side working on something, it all started to make sense.

My advice to anyone seeking to learn or improve in programming is simple: don't look for courses, look for projects.
