I've come to realize that reading comprehension is extremely important when learning a programming language. My native tongue isn't English, so it takes a while for me to absorb and fully comprehend what I'm reading. The technique I use is to start reading the text, even if I know I won't understand anything. I just read it and let it sink in. I wait a few hours, then I read it again, and again, and again until I fully understand it. It's much easier getting started when you accept the fact that you won't understand it the first few times of reading the text. The Chrome dictionary extension is very helpful as well.
