Why are we learning in console which isn't actual Java

I was wondering if this course will be actual help since we are doing the console version which is very different from the actual language

Using the console is very much actual Java. It's part of the standard platform as part of the language. It's just as much actual Java as using Android or Spring or other forms of interacting with a program is.

Yup console application are the core of the language.

Android, Spring, etc are what is called frameworks. They are libraries which contains methods to do specifics things on the support you want to develop for.

But "java" is the basic, the syntax, the flow, etc. And the better place to learn those basics is probably the console.
