Like Sunchariot, I would also recommend Joan Bunning's tarot course. It was also my first introduction to tarot and might work well next to the course you are already doing.
There are also keyword charts contained within the course. If you are struggling with making your own keywords then take a look at these charts with the cards by your side and see if you can see why particular keywords have been attached to each card.
Keywords work as stepping stones but you need to walk before you can run and that does mean understanding the structure and symbolism used within the RWS. Later on as you learn more you'll realise that you are seeing more in the cards than just keywords but that comes with practise.
Don't stress yourself over this, eventually it will all start making sense.
