Explanations of difficult points

1. 会
"会"(huì) means acquiring a skill through learning. For instance, "会游泳"(huì yóu yǒng, able to swim), "会驾驶"(huì jià shǐ, able to drive). It's not an inborn ability.

2. 得
"得"(de) is a structural particle that follows a verb. It means "(verb)...in such a way". "不太好(bú tài hǎo)" means "not very good/well". So "打得不太好"(dǎ de bú tài hǎo) means "to play badly/not very well".
