I am having trouble learning javascript. Any suggestions?
<p>I've been trying to learn javascript for 5 years now. I know the basics and can sort of read most javascript that someone else has written but I for some reason still, after 5 years cannot learn this language. 
My brain just will not let this stuff sink in. </p>

<p>I am asked to write javascript from scratch at my new job and they are willing to train me and teach me but after 5 days of learning javascript I haven't retained one bit of information. </p>

<p>I'm totally unclear on where I am suppose to put what, the ordering, the syntax.. everything. This is after 5 years of studying this language.</p>

<p>Is there a chance I just cannot learn it?</p>

<p>I'm curious to know if there are people out there that have run into a similar problem. just not being able to retain the information..</p>

<p>thoughts and advice welcomed... please.. I'm getting real scared for my job.</p>
