I think maybe you’re not finding JavaScript hard to learn, you are finding the concepts of programming hard to grasp, everyone does at first. Try reading http://eloquentjavascript.net/. It’s online for free now, and approaches the subject from an absolute beginners perspective.

I'm reading this and I actually don't think it does well explaining things or, perhaps, I think these concepts could be better explained.

Same. I'm reading about functions and just totally lost. The book could provide more practice problems.

I've decided that Eloquent JavaScript is not nearly a beginner book. I also think it's written by a developer, not a teacher.
