What should an android developer do without experience?

Question

Android

Good afternoon.
My brother and I started learning programming last summer, the choice fell on C ++, ordered a couple of books and safely began to learn it. Having learned the "basics" for 2 months, we moved to another city and began studying in the first year of the university. Passed all the subjects related to programming as an external student and as a result, a lot of free time appeared. We tried different areas of programming (web, android, qt) and the choice fell on android, for a couple of weeks we studied and did a simple quiz on our knees (which still brings $ 100 every 3 months), then we delved into the study and did some more simple ones applications and now at the moment we have a lot of theory in our heads but little has been tried in practice. So the question arises where you can gain practical experience remotely? Even without payment, the main thing is to have experience in commercial development. We considered the possibility of an internship, but in our city there are no vacancies with an internship, and in general there are very few vacancies (the city of Togliatti). On freelance Russian, even for free, they don’t give simple projects, and there are few projects, and we don’t know English well.

Answer 1

and we don't know English very well.

You definitely need to teach him. This is a necessary skill for a programmer, you can't get further than a junior without it.
After that, you can take orders on the upwork and make them.

Answer 2

Keep screwing up your apps, make it more complex. This is practical experience. Difficult, but the surest way.
Or look for a mentor who has a project and is willing to spend time learning.
You may agree to work for free, but spending time teaching you costs money for the one who teaches you, with no guarantee that you will stay and it will not be in vain.
P.S. Here's an idea for your next app - finding a mentor. An application that solves your problems will solve someone else's, and considering how everyone is breaking into IT now, it might even turn out to be something interesting.

Answer 3

Study computer science if you don't want to become a coder. English has already been mentioned. It is unlikely that anyone will seriously deal with yesterday's schoolchildren.

Answer 4

Alternatively, you can participate in the development of our program:
