Before learning React.js, make sure to have a solid understanding of following ES6+ features because these features are heavily used in React.
You can check out the below articles to learn more about it:

You're welcome
If you're planning to focus on web then spend time on HTML, CSS and DOM first. All the web standards.
Currently we have an overabundance of React-based apps that have weak usability, poor CSS architecture, and lots of re-invented wheels on features natively provided by the browser. All these factors result to unnecessary extra work which causes an endless cycle of write more JS to fix problems caused by using more JS.
React specifically often wants to solve problems "the React way" that are only relevant in the React mindset. This adds unnecessary complexity and causes problems you would never have if you know how things really work with the browser. This can give you an advantage in a job as you then know what NOT to solve with React.

Best take 👏
If you want to learn React.js then you should have knowledge on JavaScript in details.
Like not the basics of JavaScript but the core difficult concepts of JavaScript
Change of mindset is crucial. There are certainly technical requirements but there are many unresolved psyche about this field and unclear expectation is what constitutes to many people falling out.
It's a difficult field but the result (especially the pay) outweighs the difficult part.
There's this the boring beginner work of learning the basics that you have to do. There is no other way out. The more you delay it, the longer you'll make your journey and increase your risks.
There's this cumulative 12-15 hrs required where you have to write and see, write and see and write and see all the basic syntax. You have to indoctrinate yourself to see and identify "() => { //code here }" as arrow function and all similar syntax. Everything in react or any library or framework is just built using these basic structure. Literally indoctrinate yourself to be able to see and indentify and also write these basic syntax.
Some people spend year(s) to indoctrinate themselves this way. Some do this within 1 to 1.5 weeks or less. You can keep on delaying these cumulative first 12-15 hrs for as long as you want. It's only wise to do this as quickly as you can.
React is a library that helps you write UI and manage data in it. That's what react is at it's core. Usually, it comes with lots of tooling in different flavours and forms; npm, webpack, create-react-app, vite, etc. It's crucial to be able to see react separate from all of this tooling. It's not easy in beginning but you should strive for it.
Push your boundaries and revisit all concepts you learn to strengthen them and push your boundaries again. Do this alot.
Repetition is the key
I wrote an entire article with references to more reading and the most important parts and most common pain points

Consider having a good understanding of Javascript, DOM, and try to learn by building projects 👍.
Make sure you know JavaScript well first. I just made a post here explaining beginner mistakes and how to fix => dev.to/_ndeyefatoudiop/struggling-...
Before diving into the post about beginner mistakes and their fixes, ensure you have a strong understanding of JavaScript. Kingkind, mastering JavaScript fundamentals will greatly enhance your ability to comprehend and apply the suggested solutions.
Thanks ❤
Make sure to have a project in mind.
React is just a means to an end (a website, blog, e-commerce website, etc.). This will keep you motivated and keeps learning practical.
Fullstackopen really helped me get started : fullstackopen.com/en/.
It's free and each lesson has you create a project and builds on top of each other.
Thanks ❤
make small things with it first, a calculator, a weather app stuff like that.
reference the documentation and use youtube videos to learn how to do things you want to do.
Thanks ❤
Master JavaScript and HTML, CSS, SASS. Learn from freecodecamp platform and Mozilla Doc
freecodecamp.org/learn
