How difficult was learning to ride for the first time?

For me is extremely difficult and frustrating, I saved money for a hole year so I could buy a smal Motorcycle that takes me to work, with out Knowing anything about them besides they are cool. I thought I can take some lessons and after a week I will be riding with Confidence. Ok so I got my bike it's a Susuki gn 125. Brand new and on my first class I fell to the ground doing a U turn, it messed me up. I was not injured but I lost Confidence, the next class I was doing the 8 figure and was a lot better, but the third class I was supposed to do the same thing but faster and practice my gear changes, man I was complete block, my instructor told me I was making backwards steps I fell that it wasn't for me, honestly I started to cry (weeping to be accurate). Couldn't continue with the lesson and the instructor understand told me I could take a day off and I did, is today when I continue with the lessons and I'm feeling quite worried about failing again. The instructor it's ok he keeps telling me nothing happens if you fall or if it takes more time. But I can't help to feel bad about myself because it's taking me too much time and still in the basic stuff. Do you have any experience that could help me or a piece of advice, I will appreciate it. By the way if my writing is not very fluent is because my main language is Spanish. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/ae8yx3/how_difficult_was_learning_to_ride_for_the_first/?utm_source=ifttt
