I think you mean something different from what you're saying. What I think you mean is it isn't (really) hard to get a good working knowledge of C++. For example, iterators are a language element we expect often would be used in a typical program. I think it isn't hard to get a good working knowledge of C++ iterators. I think it is hard though to master C++ iterators. Does this description match what you want to express?
