I was at the same boat. I wanted to learn C++ so badly. Unfortunatly at that time, I used to be a noob. I used codecademy for learning programming. Then, I stopped codecademy and went to video tutorials on youtube, lynda, udacity, new boston and udemy. For C++ Tutorials visit : www.thenewboston.org

this is equivalent to i've learnt how to read, highlight text, browse the net and use ctrl+c and ctrl+v very well!Now it's a lot more easy, we have tons of sample, tutorial on net, that no need to type anything at all, just build and see what happen !
At least format the code with Artistic Style after you do all your copying and pasting, so that you can more easily read the code and learn something from it later. Maybe even modify and experiment with it.
Or you can participate in the International C Obfuscation Contest, and try to make your code look like this.
I first learned PHP, after that I read that C++ was used a lot in games. Thus I threw myself in the deep trying to learn C++. I was 15 years old at the time. It took a long time before I was able to produce something usable but it did give me a lot of knowledge about C++ and debugging C++. Some of my fellow AI students know from the professor a few things one should not do or try to avoid but they do now know why or what happens if they ignore this warning.
The only way you can truly learn a language IMO is to make a lot of mistakes. That way you not only learn what you should and should not do, but also why.
