I would second this.

My experience is that people get scarred of so much new terms which get introduced in Haskell and that could feel overwhelming.

When beginning with Haskell, I would advice to just write code and try to intuitively understand bits, but not get down into unwrapping things or theory much. Stay high level and figure out how things interact as you would do in black box model. Don't open the box, but poke it and see what result you will get (in other words; just write code and do trial and error).

When you get comfortable with black-box learning then open the box and look for the details.
