It turns out that monads are pretty easy both to use and understand. The problem is that the concept is kind of abstract to convey, so it is best to just start tackling particular monads. I suggest trying out parsec for a while, and then writing a simple combinator parser yourself. After you do that, monads should be easy to understand.
