Soldering is very easy, just takes a little bit of practice. Let the iron heat up, put a bit of solder on the tip, touch it to the parts you want to solder (usually the component lead and the pcb's metal plating around the hole), and apply the solder inbetween the three, it'll stick when the parts are hot enough. If it doesn't stick, either you're not applying enough pressure on the iron or the contact point is too small.

The harder part is identifying why you're soldering the parts in that point of the circuit and how the components interact with each other (aka electronics)
