But my dictionary isn't huge, and doesn't give many examples of word translations, or what they mean.
Sie is going to be a confusing word for me just due to it having so many meanings, even das isn't as confusing to me, even with the fact that it has a couple of different meanings.

Well, it's supposed to be a gradual learning process... Although today I saw an ad promising to teach me 100 new words every day. And then I also googled a forum thread hotly debating feasibility of that... They calculated that at that rate you'd understand 90% of an average text in less than 2 months... I don't know if that's encouraging or depressing. I'm pretty sure I'd have to make that my full-time job, to keep it up. Especially for all my languages... It's not, of course, a problem of looking at 100 words, or even just remembering them for the day. It's that I'm going forget most of them the next day.
Anyway...
