That's my favorite part of learning anything. No matter what I pick up, initially the lingo makes no sense. Then over time, words and phrases get associated with meanings and my mental map of the subject gets rid of 'Here Be Dragons'. Felt the same about Computer Science, Accounting, ERP systems, kayaking, AI, Cricut, and cockatiels. No matter what the field, nothing makes sense initially. "Birds clean their crop? What?"

Now I am at the same place of confusion with Go (the game). The more things don't make sense, the more excited I am. From experience, I know most people dread this feeling of not-knowing. But it is my favorite place to be because I know at the end of it, I will have learned something.
