You are absolutely right, when you say that I am unfamiliar with technical terms, but when It talks about aviation, I am ALWAYS ready to learn it!
I don't know if in French-speaking cultures they use the "building block" theory of learning. Essentially, such a theory would have it that one ought to start with more simple concepts before advancing to more advanced ones, from the unknown to the known, so to speak. You seem to be starting with the pretty advanced before getting the basics covered. On one hand, I admire the dedication, but on the other, lament the time you'll waste trying to crack things you're not ready for.
How is your mechanical aptitude in general? Do you know, for example, how to replace a spark plug on a motorcycle (or even a lawnmower)? How about where the air filter is on your Dad's Citroen? I'm not asking you this to put you down, I'm only suggesting that many mechanical concepts translate from the small to the large, just the means of execution differ.
I'm sure there are plenty of books in French on engines in general, never mind turbofans. Starts small, then go big, the big isn't going anywhere.
