Hi everyone,

I recently joined a company as a junior data analyst, and I’ve been hearing a lot about Natural Language Processing (NLP). From what I understand, it’s used to analyze text, but I’m not sure where to begin or what concepts I should learn first.

There seem to be so many topics like tokenization, sentiment analysis, embeddings, and language models that it’s a bit overwhelming. If you were starting from scratch today, what would you recommend learning first? Are there any beginner-friendly resources or projects that helped you understand NLP in a practical way?

I’d really appreciate some guidance from people who work with NLP regularly.
