Hello everyone! I am a beginner Roblox scripter. I am struggling to become a better scripting. How should I practice? What are the best practicing strategies?

The best way to practice is to actually make games. It doesn’t have to be anything special, just start with something small and slowly make your way up once you feel comfortable

Just think of something, and try making it!
I would recommend watching some YouTube video’s to help you:
There are lot’s out there!
Practice makes perfect, learn new things and put that new knowledge to use.

As a scripter who has been on the platform for a bit of time. I would recommend trying to challenge yourself. Don’t stress yourself out with making a game unless you feel you are ready for that. What you should do is come up with an idea like for example, making a campfire set you on fire and then you go into water to remove the fire. That is a rather simple script and you can come up with ideas like that and do the challenge. If you complete it, be proud of yourself. You can also feel free to look stuff up while you are doing it.

*learn data types first
*then learn about comments
*then learn about conditional statements
tweak around and play with Roblox Engine API Reference | Roblox Creator Documentation
use google.com to search how to do this and that
well it may be overwhelming sometimes so
i recommend youtube tutorials instead to start off
in roblox almost everything starts with
game.
I see people posting a lot about AlvinBlox. I personally don’t like his tutorials. There are 100% better people out there. You should try the steps below, as they will probably work better than these AlvinBlox tutorials. (Please don’t attack me, I’d like that very much!)
What I would recommend is to go to this game: (2) Lua Learning [
Bloxy] - Roblox. It teaches you everything you need to make a good game (script-wise), solves problems for you and more. It is made by a very nice person, too!
OR
Installing this plugin: (2) Studio+ 
- Roblox. Not only does it teach you to script, it teaches you every single job you can have, except the small jobs such as being a Composer or Story Writer and such here on Roblox. This has personally helped me a lot with building a while ago. It’s just amazing. They even give you full finished games just for you to test and improve. Would definetely check this out!
If you really want a YouTuber to help you in here, a safe bet would 100% be GnomeCode. I approve of him!
I hope I helped. If you have questions or want to discuss anything, feel free to :D.

Very agreeable statement. Personally I don’t like his tutorials either.
I completely agree. The only thing I would add is to also check out the Lua website. The online manual is super useful to grasp concepts and understand syntax. I also think that learning OOP (Object Oriented Programming) logic quickly is good so that you don’t develop lazy logic - especially if you want to program outside of Roblox.
