There are solder practice kits you can get. They’re usually a PCB and a bunch of components to install, then once the whole thing is correctly assembled it should do some simple function. They’re usually pretty cheap so you shouldn’t have to worry about messing it up, and the kit should be trivial to replace in comparison to the part you actually want to work on.
Not long ago, I bought about 15 different little soldering kits on AliExpress for like 1-5 dollars each. Instructions will be in Chinese, but that does force you to learn the more universal symbols in the schematics. Also, you can translate the Chinese with your phone. Anyway, after doing those and a bigger AM/FM radio kit I got from Amazon, I’m pretty confident in my soldering skills.

ok cool, I’ll take a loko for those.
