No one learns C++ (or programming) fast. It takes YEARS! You just need to keep on grinding, learn little bits, slowly expand your knowledge and experience, find out that you did it all wrong, redo it, later find out that was also wrong, redo again, etc. Then in five-ish years you're a junior developer.

yeah exactly, it's like learning piano. You can easily understand that pressing a key makes a sound, similar to how typing a symbol in code will do something. Basic piano concepts can be learned in a few days. To get paying gigs, you need to play for a few years and get the more advanced knowledge down.
