I have a issue with scripting for my game. And ya I have watched tutorials on how to script though those dont help me and I tried to figure it out myself and it didnt work either and I tried to get someone to help me though it kinda of sorta of worked I just dont get the scripting language.? I always think of it as a dictionary if you know what I mean. Like the definition for building its easy to know and put it on roblox scripting I just dont know how to learn what everything means in roblox scripting.?

You must, in my opinion, practice, practice and practice, for me who is new it helped me a lot and try to improvise scripts on your own, you will see, at the beginning you will do stupid things and every day that will improve!
Don’t tell yourself that everything will go right the first time!
I hope that helped you !

Lua and most languages have a large libary of builtin words and syntax rules you have to follow when coding.
Scripting isn’t easy, especially when your just beginning since its very hard to grasp most the logic you need in programming.
Lua (whilst not being as steep) does have a big learning curve you have to overcome, it takes time and you have to be dedicated to.

I been learning for 1 and a half years and I still know nothing because I always take a break from Roblox scripting and I forget half of what I learned from Roblox scripting.

You shouldn’t stop if you really want to learn, of course you can take a break but if you start a project don’t make the mistake of giving up, personally I have given up a lot of times and so I learned slower but today I stopped and I learn 10x faster! 
I did start my own project on my game i’m currently working on I just dont know what Roblox scripting youtuber can have the easiest ways to learn Roblox scripting. And ya I did find Sheasu’s Roblox scripting tutorials easy to learn I just forgot about those Roblox scripting tutorials and now I dont know where to start.

Maybe they don’t even know 
If it happens, he just looks in the devhub and takes what they like, we don’t know ಠ_ŕ˛
Or they are just good at it and they have been learning for a long time! 
You just gotta trial & error! I’ve been coding for almost 2 years and I have been experimenting with all sorts of modules like Bit32, which I didn’t need but I dove into it and I became an expert and made an entire module on it.
tl;dr: Search the devforum and developer.roblox.com for services that you may want, experiment with it!

Look at scripts in free models and try to figure out why something happens and understand the script.
The great thing about Lua is that a lot of it just makes sense. It’s also very similar to scratch which is something you can try out before coding on Roblox.

Thats what I hear all the time. Its just as a beginner I might not know what something is until I learn it. I’m good with printing and thats all and like the functions thing that makes 2 objects and adds them.
Ask yourself, what excatly are the things you don’t understand/ don’t know? Then go practice them, breaking down other people scripts is somewhat good, and if you don’t understand something in that script, for ex: for i,v in pairs() loop, then go learn what they are, and then put that into practice. First just use print then try to make something more complicated. Then go back, and break down the rest of the script, repeat.
If you’re not sure where to start after a break, then start again at the beginning. It’s better to refresh your knowledge about things instead of just diving straight in and getting lost, then giving up.
Create exercises/challenges for yourself - try making a tool that turns everything that it touches into gold, try making a door that opens when a player chats, etc.
I’ve tried to learn scripting since 2018 and gave up in 2020. In two years i could have been advanced scripter already, but everytime i came back i was stuck, didn’t know what to do or what to practice. You can laugh, but i couldn’t understand how returning /for i,v in pairs loops work. until i took another break, like a few months then it just clicked.
It will be hard at the beginning. You won’t understand some things, there will be days where you will be banging your head against a wall because of a simple error in a script. But remember, just don’t give up everyone went through that at the start.
I don’t exactly recommend this because the majority of free model scripts are just incredibly old ones from 2013 or are difficult to comprehend due to them not being properly organised and laid out or just plain messy making them near impossible to read, especially if you’re learning the language.
I wouldn’t say Scratch is similar to Luau, Scratch is block based while Luau is text based. In scratch you put some stuff together, bing bam you did it. In Luau you have to learn a bunch of events and Services to properly make things.
Analyze code. If you’re using a tutorial, don’t just skim it. You won’t learn anything. I made that mistake before as well. Try watching tutorials, then look at every single piece of code and research it until you understand all of it. That’s what helped me, at least.
I do know a youtuber who has a playlist for scripting tutorials and it helped me a ton. The youtubers channel is CovertCode!
Although, if you don’t want to watch videos, then I would recommend to read the ROBLOX DevHub!
Well, if you’re willing to spend the money you could hire a tutor. A good place to find them would be the Hidden devs discord server
