I'm not reading all the comments, but I'm sure other people have said the same thing: Don't shift into 1st until you are at a stop, or just before you come to a stop. If you shift into 1st just before you are completely stopped, it should slip in easily. I've been driving manual transmission cars for 16 years, and they have all been similar in that they don't like to be put into 1st gear while moving. Same thing with reverse. Make sure you are at a dead stop before shifting into reverse. If you are rolling at all, regardless of direction, you can expect to get a bit of a grind.
Good luck. Keep practicing!
