Can you explain that further? A random oracle is a random set of strings...?

Flip a coin for each string to decide its membership in the language.
In other words, let the characteristic sequence of the language be an infinite random binary string.

So, a language is a mapping from strings to 1/0? And an oracle is a language?

A language is a set of strings and an oracle for that language answers whether a certain string is in that language in O(1) time.
