I have had trouble recently while reviewing the Build an Android App and just changing some of the attributes and using my own facts. I was going fine then I hit an error. I know where to look, but the error messages mean nothing to me. I don't know how to interpret the error in order to fix it. Any help on how I can learn to understand the error messages in logcat, so that I could actual figure out what is wrong and what to fix.

Perhaps, you could copy the message into your internet browser and then put the word "android" at the end, which usually leads you to websites, mostly StackOverflow, but you should find other websites which help you understand the problem, and sometimes provide fixes (though it is not guaranteed to contain fixes).
