Pilotz,
It may also help if you can beg/borrow/buy a scanner and have it tuned to/scanning the frequencies of interest throughout the day when you have time. Steep yourself in the radio calls and after a while it will be second nature.
I learned most of my radio calls and procedures from this (before I started flying), then when I read the regulations I had no difficulty understanding what was required.
Good luck with the flying.
