Stick with it.
The A chord is tough for beginners but it comes with practice. You could try different finger placements. Sore fingers are inevitable but they will toughen up with time and harden.
Good luck.

very nice
That looks like a very nice instrument to learn classical guitar on if that is what you want as opposed to a steel string acoustic or electric guitar.
