Jimmy,

  Maybe you are trying to move too fast.  Some of these concepts take awhile
to absorb.  If you are like many speakers of English, you are having to
learn grammatical concepts  that are new, as well as a new vocabulary  and
the conjugations and declensions of Greek.  It's not the easiest project you
will ever take on, and I think you may need to  a bit more time to allow
yourself to get a good grasp of the material.

  BTW,  I  think most of us have felt the same way at some point in our
studies.  Don't give up, it gets better, but only if you learn the material
before moving ahead.
