I feel picking up any language and learning if from basic to advanced should be the main focus, doesn’t matter if it is R or python, the difference lies only in the syntax and also the fact that python can be used for large amount of data.
Absolutely. Syntax changes and you Python can be considered as an overall language rather than just statistical so if you are starting, Python would be a nice choice but if someone has started on R, it isn’t bad at all!
