Help a newbie

So I always loved the mk games , but I didn't have the chance to play mk9 since i didn't have any console(ps3 or xbox 360), but now with the release on the pc I can finally play.I really like Sonya and i'd like someone to help me with the basics cause im a total newbie at fighting games.I really don't understand any term of the guides and that's the main reason of my post.Anyway thanks in advance.
