some guy told me to learn assembly. most valuable tip ever :d. on a more serious note, for me personally, programming is 'easy' to learn as long as you have an interesting project to work on. none of my 'mentors' ever sparked that interest in me as they always gave very generic excersizes or projects to practice in. It's a good idea to try and find what this person has an interest towards in programming, even if they might not know it themselves yet. creating that initial spark will drive them to learn more eagerly / efficiently. Like learning anything, if you enjoy it / have a good motivation, in any case it will go better.
