Dear Jerry,
wellcome to this group.
Here are people of different levels of knowledge, but, it is not difficult
to realize that even if one has studied longer one is still a beginner. I am
sure it won't go over your head, you can go quietly and gradually. The
exercises here will help you. Later on you may enjoy reading suttas in Pali
with English next to it. You will see how helpful Pali is for the
understanding of the teachings. Do not be afraid to ask questions, there are
always people here who will help.
Nina.
