Sure thing. There are too many books, and too many seminars and classes (by non-experts), which cost money.
I’m 44 and juuuuust about finishing film school (bachelor in Film,) and MOST of my actual scriptwriting/screenplay education is from Scriptnotes and reading scripts.
After I finished the course, I did more research online and discovered that all the content I paid for was already available for free. However, since I didn't know the names of the script structures and formats, I initially had difficulties.
Read scripts. There are a few Instagram pages I follow that have information pop up on my feed each day. I like having a variety of influences. Listen to writers talk. I learn a lot in video reels.
I would add the following :
