Have you identified the barriers that you're facing? The #haskell irc channel happens to be an excellent resource for learning Haskell, assuming you have the ability to use IRC. There is a great wiki at haskell.org but it rarely comes up in google searches making it of limited utility for people that don't already use it. There is also the haskell-cafe mailing list, but YMMV. Let us know if we can point you in the right direction(s). Jason
