When you first look at something written in Braille, all you see (or feel) is a jumble of dots! However, like any other code, Braille is based on a logical system. Once you understand it, you'll be able to read and write Braille easily. That's because Braille is not a language, it's just another way to read and write English (or any other language, such as Japanese).
