(esp happy to field questions about stuff that seems basic to you and that you feel like you should've gotten a long time ago!)

oof. so, there are a lot of different ways to think about this, and my preferred way of thinking about it is not the most common one (functor of points). it also depends a lot on what your existing background is. eg, do you already have a sense of what a variety is?
I have a pet answer if you know what a manifold is already 🙃
