This game seems interesting in concept, but to me the game is just like "blatgheigifasghjghsigeh" and I don't know what it is.

Try playing adventure mode. It can help you get a better grasp of the symbols. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Adventurer_mode This wiki will help you figure out what keys to use and stats to put points in.

You also want to make sure you are a demigod.

If you're not really a roguelike person, or adventurer mode is too hard for you, try regular dwarf fortress mode. It's basically the RTS mode, if you didn't know what it was.
I used Rock Paper Shotgun's tutorial to grasp the basics of Dwarf Fortress, along with using the tileset it recommended. I'm still learning Adventurer mode though, and I'm too much of a devolved inbred to understand ASCII in adventurer mode.

survived first siege today. locked the outside doors. goblins murdered all my livestock outside, but i caught a lot of them with cage traps. i sent out one weak dwarf to satisfy the other 10 still alive, then after killing him, they retreated. got good stuff from the captured ones.
