I am trying to learn mathematical logic but every textbook I come across is so hard to read and understand, and assumes I'm already an expert in everything. Is there anything aimed at beginners that is actually quite thorough and does a good job explaining things to someone with no prior exposure?

Are there any good books on propositional, first order, and second order logic that don't require me to be a supergenius?
