Use rated games to be matched with real players. After a few games that you will lose you will be matched with players against which you have roughly a 50:50 chance of winning / losing. Donโt focus on the ELO rating specifically at the start. Playing against humans is definitely different from the computer. In the lower ELO ranges you will see a lot of moves that donโt make sense and that the chess engine would never play. On the other hand opponents can be quite good at reading your strategy (as opposed to a dumbed-down engine).
Use the Analyse game function after the game to get an idea of the mistakes you made.
I would start with 10 minute games so that you can play a few games in a row (gives you more practice) but still have time to think.
