The concept of this may be much easier to grasp when using fundamental JavaScript. A complex construction can mask the scope (to which this refers), and frameworks compound this with layers of abstraction that can be difficult for a novice to unravel. It's true that different people learn in different ways, but any one person can learn in different ways too—if one way isn't working, perhaps it's time to try another.
What I mean with my this example is that just reading through the explanation of how this works is not gonna stick or have that much of a meaning until I have used it a lot and maybe encountered a few issues. That's why I learn by doing and then coming back to the material to learn: it gives me something real to attach my new knowledge with and not just theoretical textbook knowledge.
