What you have to do is to hear it and hear it if hearing it one time doesn't get the job done. Be patient, you'll meet it again soon – many have also spoken of the experience of learning a new word today and seeing it again the very next day.
Take the American vogue expression "go figure", for example. First time you see it, you'd probably think of it as a typo or some poor grammar. That's alright. Wait till you see it a second, third time.
Example 1: The prepositions are strangely the last thing almost all the children learn in a language. Go figure!
Example 2: Women and children are the first targets of war. Go figure.
Example 3: Go figure: Weight loss is one of the worst reasons for exercise.
Now, if your definitions of "go figure" run along the lines of "wow, isn't that right?" or "who'd have thought?" or "how come", they're all correct.
Think of "go figure" as short for "go and figure it out for yourself". It is used more like an exclamation, though, punctuating an unexpected fact. Oh yeah, that's right.
If, however, after reading this article, your reaction still runs alone the lines of "but I'm not a native English speaker, how I can be expected to learn like one", oh everyone, please have mercy on you.
