I really don't understand why you find it so hard to learn C.

There are only a tiny number of core statements (like if, while, return etc) 
and the syntax of them all is very similar.  How to write functions you just 
have to learn, but that's the same for any language.  Writing mathematical 
formulae is also very easy and similar to almost every other language (using 
+ - / * etc).

If you want to get more advanced, then learn to handle arrays and what & and 
* do (quite easy things to remember, not complex at all), and you're pretty 
much set to understand 99.999% of C code out there - including things like 
while(*v++ = *s++);

What's the problem?
