Also note information received and transmitted is usually in a standard order/format and using standard phraseology (It is not near as mind boggling as is currently seems to you) Also use the KISS principle (Don't start a conversation...) and readback required information. Actually, in flight, you should have been talking on the radio more at an "uncontrolled" field than you normally would at a towered field. Also check out the Pilot/ Controller glossary and consider using a knee board with a clearance pad.

Listening to Live ATC is invaluable. I taught foreign students & during primary training made them all listen to ground, tower, appch/dep and copy down as much as they could as they listened & bring it to me. I'd also have them circle anything that they didn't understand so we could discuss it together. I found this to be the most effective method. It really accelerated things.

Kinda surprises me that no body pointed out the AIM.

My own experience was 180 out from yours. I learned to fly in a fairly busy Class C airspace and I was worried the first time I went to an UNcontrolled field for my first solo x/c. I kept asking who was going to be directing me around and the old guys were just laughing at me and telling me to enjoy the freedom!
