Well, I took absolutely ages to go solo, then proceeded to mess up most of my dual navs, but I still got there in the end.
And a few years later, it seems totally unimportant. What would I have been doing if I'd learned more quickly? Flying. What was I doing anyway? Flying. And flying with the benefit of an instructor, and learning something new each time, even if what I was supposed to be learning wouldn't seem to stick.
I just wish I'd known then what I do now, and seen all that at the time.
For the record, I'm talking about my PPL(A), which I got first; I struggled with whirly things later.
