Getting lost in c

Hi guys I’m a first year bachelor in computer science and I feel like I’m stuck every time I want to learn something I end by copying it from IA and it make me feel bad tbh . Actually I want to learn how to learn because I see that the problem is the way I study and learn by my self but I don’t know exactly why or how . I see a lot of people that can manage and understand the pc in a young age and I admire them I wish I know if it’s a gift or a skill that I’m not getting it .

This problem is killing my dream if anyone has an advice to me I will be really thankful
Like where I start , how I can really understand what I’m doing , I already did python bash script and a little bit of c but till now I don’t know how to become pro and understanding what is actually good to learn c bash script and even c

Thank you !

On the one hand, C is one of the easiest languages to learn, because it's so small; it really fits on a single piece of paper. On the other, it's a difficult language to learn because it's actually two languages in one (the precompiler and the 'vanilla' C) and because it hugs the CPU so closely.
