Download a Commodore 64 emulator and learn ROM BASIC. Write a game in it. After that, try learning C again. You'll be infinitely thankful for such high-level constructs as functions and structs. And you'll understand what they do a bit better, probably. Edit: I'm sorry if this sounds condescending, but I really mean it. Basic is about one step above assembler - you get variables and nice access to some basic IO, but it's much closer to the metal than C. It really doesn't even have functions, you have to do GOSUB/RET yourself. It's also an extremely simple language. But it will give you an idea on how computers work at a basic level. After that you should have a much easier time grokking C.
