Learning Rust is probably onone of the more accessible ways to get this kind of experience. It won't teach you everything you'd need to know to write C++ professionally, but it teaches a lot of the it, including a lot of best practices that it's otherwise hard to learn outside of a professional environment.
I don't know, someone who solves their borrow checker errors by adding more dynamic allocations (which seems to be common/recommended), will be taught how to program in Java, not C++.
That's only recommended for beginners while they get tuo to speed (to try and help them avoid ahve to learn too much at once). It's absolutely not recommended in general. The whole point of the borrow checker is to enable memory safety without heap allocating and garbage collecting everything.
