I had tried to learn Pd several times since the late 90s but it finally clicked and i have been obsessed.

there is another channel, "cheeto moskeeto" , that has been helpful and is often recommended, but the tutorials are 12 years old and i believe he uses Pd-extended so alot has changed, but still worth a look... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL12DC9A161D8DC5DC

also, the best resource I know of for interactive help is the forum at pd patch repo... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/ the community is the largest I have found and the help is probably more helpful and less snarky than other routes.
