The common theme here is spreading lessons out over a long time and forgetting stuff before the next lesson.
Take a week or two off work and learn full time, 3 or 4 hours per day, that way you will quickly get the knack. 3 times around the circuit will not get you doing a decent landing, 30 times should have it sorted.
It helps to do this on a holiday somewhere where you can rely on the weather to let you fly every day.
If you pick somewhere like Johannesburg in their winter/our summer you will never see a cloud.
If you cannot afford to do this you probably will not be able to afford to fly regulary to keep your skills current in future so ask yourself the fundamental question - can I afford an expensive hobby for the foreseable future ?
