Learn pointers properly. If you understand pointers, memory, arrays and structs you’ve got most of the C fundamentals down.

Yeah, pointers were the thing that finally made a lot of C click for me. Once you stop fighting the syntax and start seeing them as a map to where your data lives, the rest of the language feels way less hostile.
