56 is not that unusual to start. Welcome to our addiction.
Seems like everybody has one piece of the puzzle that's harder than the rest. Communications is a common place. Ultimately it's easy, it's just now a mix of unknown terms in an unknown context in an unknown environment, spoken fast It'll fall into place with practice. Play with the apps mentioned or maybe listen to liveatc.net in your free time a bit.
Yes, ATC is patient with student pilots as long as you listen and do what they ask. "student pilot, say again" works well.
The redbird is great for what it does but I'm not sure it will be much use in the PP lessons. Check with your CFI.
Where are you flying at?
