I am unable to learn R and just rely on AI. Suggestions please?

Hello,

I have tried to learn R inside Rstudio and even did a course on the basics. I'm now in a role where they are encouraging me to learn R while doing it, but I am unable to do it all because I am unable to understand the sequence of steps and feel AI vibe coding is better option since I don't know if I'm doing things the right way and prompting AI for each step is confusing because I miss out steps which I should have added. Coding with AI is also better since I have deadlines at work. I know this is not the best thing for my own sake, and wish to learn R badly, but nothing seems to be working.

I have struggled with math in a similar way as a kid until I was able to understand the way it works, and now I love math. Sadly I don't have a teacher to teach me r now, but I really and desperately want to learn to code in R, especially in the next couple of days. I'm willing to put in the time to learn, but I need something which helps me make better sense of the language, in a way which is easier to understand and quick too. All suggestions and advice are welcome.
