I'm not craftybear either (she does rock though!) My trick to learning the language is that I open up another tab of my internet so that I have 2 sessions going at one time and when I come across something I don't know I just click on the other tab and google it. That way, I don't lose where I am on the one session but I get my question answered.
These are 2 sites that I find I go to alot othr than youtube tutorials.
http://www.allpeoplequilt.com
http://www.freequilt.com
The first is very informative and the second had lots of free quilt patterns. After you look at them enough, you remember what they are.
