When a small kid blabbers some syllables, just repeats sounds and tries to communicate by pointing his finger and repeating what he things he hears does he ponder the question:

"Can I even communicate?"

No.

Don't expect mastery to come within a few weeks. Trial and error is still the best way learn things. You may think you're beating yourself up over one small detail for hours, find a solution and think you took ages for such a simple thing, chances are you'll never forget that detail and it will bring you much benefit in the future..

Stay strong, keep going!!
