There's nothing hard about C. I fail to find support for your position on this. Pointers? Really? Nothing could be simpler so long as you understand how a basic microprocessor works. Perhaps I see it this way because I started my programming experience typing machine code into a hex keypad. I can see that someone who comes from a frame of reference devoid of low level exposure can get confused by something as simple as pointers. Even so, easy teaching analogies abound, for example: A pointer is the number of the post office box. The data is what it contains.
