Good thing, since as with any language if you want to know every word you'll need to read the entire dictionary.
Most of are less ambitious. There are still things in there I've never read.
For newcomers I usually suggest skimming the second and third chapters of the User Guide to get oriented, then poke around the 78 tutorials included in the install to find one that grabs their attention and play around with that, modifying it to see what happens. As they come across language elements unknown to them, at that point the Dictionary can be helpful, esp, the See Also section.
