IMHO where Forth falls down it is because it is a write-only
language; programs other than the limited training exercises
being difficult to fathom out.

Taking an analogy with the building trades, it is very easy to
understand the simple operation of laying bricks, but were you to
attempt building a hospital by laying a few bricks without sight
of the complete project, you'd very soon end up with little more
than a pile of bricks.

If you're starting out, I recommend that you take Python in your
stride; there's a very goo book about Python for the RPi
