Re: wall-squat versus deadlift

I've been doing some wall squats with a light kettlebell.

Why?

Is that good practice for learning how to deadlift properly?

No.

If you want to learn how to deadlift prpoerly, you should deadlift.
Properly. (serious...)

My deadlift and wall squat feel a lot different, but I'm not very
flexible, so maybe that's the reason. So I'm wondering if I should
wall squat until I have the flexibility and strength to get my toes
against the wall before taking up the deadlift again. Is that a
recommended progression?

Why do you "wall squat"?

And why do you use a KB?
