Yes, in English we have the equivalent expression: “You have to learn to crawl before you can walk.” This saying was constantly repeated to me as a child when I was eager to do things beyond my capabilities, and it has stuck with me throughout my life. It serves as a reminder to take things one step at a time and to build a strong foundation before trying to tackle more advanced tasks.
