i can't figure out how to practice what i have learned , should i create a new workspace and repeat the code by my own to remember what i learned ?

I asked a similar question earlier this week and a gentleman by the name of Greg Kaleka provided me an OUTSTANDING answer and it's actually helped quite a bit. For this reason, I want to go ahead and quote what he told me!
One thing that I try to do as soon as I learn a new concept, here on Treehouse or elsewhere, is to do the thing they're teaching me, and then immediately apply it to something slightly different. For example, if you learn how to build a navigation bar, and the teacher walks you through building it with a logo and link to the home page on the left, and main page links in the middle, go to codepen and build exactly the same thing, then build a slightly different variant. Maybe put the logo on the right (gasp!), or style the links differently.
The idea is to generalize the knowledge you're gaining. The more you do this, the easier it will become to apply individual skills to various projects.
-Greg Kaleka
Hope this helps to answer your question!
Cheers, and happy coding!

6,279 PointsI feel like I should be able to give YOU the up-votes, it was technically your answer after all, i just felt it necessary to pass on the knowledge because it was quite helpful and did a better job of answering the question than I would've been able to do hahah!
