Does anyone feel like an idiot when learning to code?

Actually my goal was to become a teacher, but I saw this forum on YouTube. I hope this can change my life, I learn to make survey and Cat Gallery. But in the process I felt like an idiot, no matter what I finished. After my hands leave the keyboard, I forget them all.
