Neural network help (also posted in beginner forum, not sure where to get help with this)

I don't understand neural networks at all. I'd like to begin my own artificial intelligence program, but I can't seem to make sense of neural networks. Could somebody help me understand them?

If you're a beginner, it's better to just stick to that forum even if you think the question is advanced.
I'm more intermediate, but I wanted it in kinda easier terminology than the articles I'd been reading that was why I posted there too
