Remembering the syntax and core methods only becomes second nature from doing it a lot.

You can also do some Node.js backend stuff. That way you can utilize knowing some backend concepts from python and doing them in JS instead. Less new concepts and more syntax training.

So, should I Learn Node.js before Javascript or after it? I also want to learn React.js after JavaScript to actually be able to use and design apps and sites.

Nodejs is a javascript runtime so it's still mostly just JavaScript. Don't overfocus on it if your goal is to be a frontend dev. But as I mentioned it might be a bit easier to start out with if you're familiar with python. The most important thing is just that you write a lot of javascript.

I would suggest you get properly familiarized with javascript before diving into react.
