Well, it is really interesting reading everyone's memories about learning to hover.
I really struggled to get a grip of it. My instructor kept saying " see the attitude change and correct !" (Sometimes, in a bit more forthright manner) Then one day it started to drizzle while I was trying to hover. A matrix of small water droplets appeared on the windshield, which when viewed against the horizon gave me that SEE THE ATTITUDE CHANGE.
From then on, I knew how small the magnitude of change was, to which I needed to respond.
Keep practising. Just like learning to ride a bicycle....... It will come to you
