What should I be doing as a new player

So I sometimes have a hard time against a level 1 computer even. I've been doing the learning videos and challenges, but I'm afraid to play against real people because I don't know what's a good move and bad move. Should I just start playing against players and learn that way?

Yeah, it's useful to play against people. Don't worry, after a few losses you'll play new players, and new players will have the same worries as you (like being unsure which move to play).
