It sounds like your clutch isn't adjusted properly. Verify that first, even if you have to grab a flashlight and mirror. Verify your clutch is disengaging when someone pushes the clutch in. They don't move much, but you should see it.

And reverse gear grind is pretty normal. It is not synced with the forward gears, so what most people do is hit 5th gear first, then right into reverse from there. No grind that way....

I agree with 88, a quick test, can you shift it into gear when the engine is off by rocking the car a little?
