How do I read this book?

Pretty sure you're supposed to get the basic meanings through context. I don't recall having to go to the glossary much when I read it at the age of about 13

Herbert is just sort of setting the stage with the made up words. Don't worry about it too much. You just have to power through the first bits, but then it will get good and you will be able to follow what is going on much more easily.

Is English not your first language? I listened to it as an audiobook and had zero problems in understanding it.

It is a bit of piecing things together; part of the world building is not explaining what the fuck the spacing guild is for because you should already know this already.

There's also the dictionary in the back of the book, refer there! It was sometimes helpful.

Just keep reading, it's not a deep book, just good scifi.

Open your eyes.
