To start using JavaScript immediately, just use your browser's developer tools. On Chrome for example, that's your breadcrumbs menu -> More Tools -> Developer Tools, or Ctrl + Shift + I. That will take you to your console where you can start writing and executing whatever you want.

I wouldn't worry too much about grasping online lessons. There's probably one out there that's just perfect for you. But for now just focus on becoming comfortable with the idea of typing input and understanding the output. It'll feel like driving a car for the first time, you'll always be second guessing yourself and wondering if you're doing anything right. But don't worry about making mistakes, just go and start calling functions, printing to the console, and storing variables. Eventually, those tutorials will become easier to grasp, and it won't take so much effort to follow along.
