When I start to learn something, it often tends to be very confusing and tough. As I learn more, it becomes less complex and I start finding it to be easy.
Is there a phrase, or a word, to define this transitional time period?

the time required to learn certain information, acquire certain skills, etc.
"I'm still a novice." (or beginner)
"I'm still learning."
"I'm in the early stages of learning this."
"I'm slowly getting better at this."
The "early stages" might be what you are looking for. But it doesn't convey how difficult the journey will be.
I'll update if I think of more.
