LOL no wonder you got it screwed..
Solder is pronounced sauter if that rings a bell, its when u take some metal like substence and melt it down to secure connections.. its the only way to go when working with electronics..

Soldering is VERY easy. I bought a 3$ iron from walmart and 1 little tube of solder and i did jobs on my bushy NO PROBLEM. I seriously thought i was gonna mess up, but its very easy. Just read directions.
