Jan,
There are three contributors to blurry images:
1. Main subject out of focus.
2. Camera shake.
3. Subject movement.
You will steadily develop the skills to get your main subject in focus. (I recommend using centre-point, single-point focus for now.)
You will also develop steadier hands and a sense of what shutter speed you need to cancel out camera shake and subject movement.
When you shoot in green mode, shutter speeds can easily get too low, especially indoors.
Check out some youtube clips about shooting in shutter priority mode first, then learn about aperture priority.
I totally hear what you are saying about the difficulty of reading manuals. Videos and how-to books are great ways of getting it all in digestible chunks.
