Driving lesson is a nightmare

Man! I nearly cried out during my first ever driving lesson lesson. :'(

Either the instructor is impatient or I am too stupid and clumsy.

First, he took me to a lorry carpark beside Bt Batok Nature park to learn how to control the car.

He asked me learn to step on the accelerator pedal and brake pedal, and he asked me to practice that for 5 mins alone.

Then he asked me to practice on the step when making right and left turn, left right signals, rear mirror, side mirror, blind spot....

Then taught me the steering wheel, correct way to hold and steer... practiced for 20 times. Then asked me to try driving around the carpark, straight and left turn.

Then off we go to the main road! =/

Palms started sweating, both arms became very stiff.

While driving on road, he helped me with the control of steering wheel. Then when during turn, he helped me out also, making me very confused on where my hands shld hold to. He kept scold me for crossing my arms for too long. I know I should cross them but I just simply lost control of them. And with his arm over at the steering making more difficult to move my hands ard.

All along my mandarin sucks, and most of the times I can't understand wad he is toking. Even when turning left and right, he say "左" but i suddenly forgot that 左 is left then I signal right. Zzz Tio scold again. I know how to differentiate left and right, but not 左 and 右.

He asked me to drive from Bt Batok nature park back to bbdc area then to the circuit at the sungei tengah. He taught me reversing, simple parking, "S" road. Its all so difficult. Haiz.

His first lesson make me abit phobia with driving. Sigh. My next lesson's on next tuesday and thursday. Sigh again!
