16 hours and counting

Hi all,
i've just come up to my 16th hour with the PPL - but it feels like i'm progressing really slowly. I'm onto my 2nd instructor now as my last landed a job with the Airlines. When I was younger I started out flying and managed to wind up 8 hours - at the time i could'nt really afford it and so had to stop. But now i'm older and wiser with a bit more cash and so have recently started back up again. I'm up to 16 hours now but it feels like i'm progressing slowly - mainly due to the weather but it has also taken me a while to grasp stalling - is this normal ?.. When I first started stalling I was nervous - but now after 3 or so lessons i'm there.. Can any-one tell me ?- should I be starting on the radio work yet ?? - i'm eager to, but have'nt been shown the correct procedures as yet.. I'm currently having 2 lessons a month which is as far as my budget can go at the moment.
