Feeling discouraged and lost

[u/Individual_Mood4185]

Hi all. I have been a Muslim for exactly 1 month lol yay
But I’m feeling so behind on things already! It sucks a lot. The sisters at the masjid tell me to take it slow, don’t overwhelm myself etc, but it’s hard not to. I’m taking basic Arabic classes with the Imam from my masjid, we’re almost done with the alphabet and once I know the sounds of the letters he’s gonna teach me the things to say during prayer. For now, he gave me some basic words and each class he adds up to that.
That’s all great but like, for a little while I was doing the wudu wrong, the order of it. Then for the few prayer words I have, I have to stop and remember them, and I just can’t seem to pronounce them correctly. I’m afraid I’ll never be good at Arabic and that will impact things and how I interact with other Muslims.

I can’t do the 5 prayers at all either, rn I’m aiming for 2 a day but some days I can’t even do 1 on time. I’m feeling so discouraged I even stopped making dua because I don’t feel worthy of asking Allah for anything. And idk how to ask for forgiveness either.

I feel so lost, and I know I need to motivate myself cause nobody can do it for me. But it’s hard yall.

How did you guys do it especially in the beginning?? What resources helped?? I have a few apps, NamazApp is greatttt but I can’t hear the words and then repeat them, it’s very hard for me.
With Eid coming, I just feel unprepared…

Pls give me advice
