Hi Cherolyn,

I have to agree with a lot of what Norbert wrote. You’ve been stuck at a very elementary level for several months, and you aren’t making the kind of progress that you need to become proficient within a reasonable time.

I keep thinking the educational resource you’ve been using isn’t the best one for you.

Everyone learns differently. Some people learn well from reading books or watching video, and other people learn more quickly by being shown something in person. With mathematics, it’s important to have a good teacher you relate to in just the right way. Maybe programming is similar. When I’m learning a new computer-related technology, I spend a large amount of time up front looking for the particular book, video, websites, or whatever, to make sure I have the optimal resource(s) lined up. That way, I don’t waste time studying with something that isn’t really effective.

I think you need to try different things and find something that really “clicks” for you.
