First you should bookmark http://www.coindesk.com/information/bitcoin-glossary/ and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/terminology-126798 so that you can re-visit the pages and check the meaning of some bitcoin terms like "confirmation", "private key" in the future.
You should start reading the guides you found in this thread. It won't be easy to understand bitcoin, and so don't get frustrated when you are lost in the articles. Feel free to ask your questions here or on reddit when you need help.
