If you can already read code... just start a small project of your own, I would say. Pick the language you are most familiar with and create something. Be patient, learn as you go. Learning to code requires a lot of time and dedication, but it is a good experience!
What is your language? Maybe people here could give you ideas of a good first project to try :-).
