The biggest obstacle I've been running into while learning how to code is that I don't have someone that can sit there and go over my code and debug it for me. So any time I start taking lessons, there comes a point where I just can't figure out I did wrong, and I have to give up. I've gone back to the same lesson a hundred times and still can't figure out it.
That is my major hang-up, and a friend of mine who has been trying for years to learn on their own feels the same way. You need an actual person to tutor and help you through the rough spots or else you simply can't move on to the next lesson.

Which programming language should I learn first?
It's indeed very difficult to overcome difficulties when you're working on your own. There are resources like stackoverflow.com and r/programming on reddit where you can ask for help, but you're right, it won't compare to having someone there to sit there with you and explain it.
I recommend just moving on to other lessons and resources. You might just be stuck due to the context, and as you progress in other areas and go back, it might become clearer. Don't give up!

I was doing JavaScript on Codeacademy. The other lessons I found were all about website design, though. Thanks for the support
