And Mandarin is much simpler than English --
if that's what you grew up speaking! If you had more experience with C/C++ than you have with Java, of course you'll probably think the former syntax is easier! And if you are "pasting pieces together," your problem is a little more serious than understanding the basics of the language.
Like I said before, learning a new language is all about learning how to put your thoughts into writing that the other party (whether person or computer) can understand based on the rules defined by the language. It's not that the language is not clear, it's just that you probably didn't say it clearly enough to be understood.
It's true that some languages get in the way more than others but for me, Java is far more expressive and clear than C++. (And yes, I do know C/C++. I also know COBOL, Fortran, BASIC, RPG as well as a smattering of Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokien and Spanish).
