No, it is not a difficult task, but that certainly doesn't make you an idiot.

The reason why it is difficult for you is because you appear to do two things at once.
1) learning how to program in general, the principles.
2) learning pascal.

While you can do both it is much harder than when you only have to do the 2nd. The first however is the most important. Do that one right and you can apply it to any language.
