Am I lazy or is the javascript track hard?

I have always had a hard time on the JavaScript track. they way the teacher divs into trying to confusing you and gives you challenges when you're still learning it. I have brought books on JavaScript and Im using an educational app.

Do you think im struggling with JavaScript itself, or could the lessons in the track be taught better. in some of the videos he even hints that hes purposefully trying to confuse you.

It's always a challenge to learn something new.

But if you stick with it, you'll usually get to a point where it starts to make sense. And the initial challenges shouldn't be much more than just a chance to practice the same things you've seen demonstrated in the video.

I'd be curious to see a direct reference (link and time index?) to where the instructor is "purposefully trying to confuse you".
