I just got out of the shower and was trying to put myself in your shoes, Wllix.
Most importantly, as Chad pointed out and you are already doing... ask questions. When a new rider comes up to anyone on the beach and asks a question, I have never seen him/her met with anything but a friendly answer. So, just to reinforce was Chad said, we are all friendly and here to help out.
That's not the case with a lot of sports or other settings in life, but it is around here with kiting.
So, don't be shy or purposely stay to yourself.

Also, I bet I rigged my kite at least 15 times before I felt comfortable with it.
Your instructor may very well have shown you all this stuff. It doesn't mean it is going to stick the very first time. I know for me, (Jayson witnessed it for 3 solid months) I would rig and re-check my kite ad nasueum, over and over.
My point is, don't hesitate to ask someone to double check your setup at first. It's not a poor reflection on you or your instructor. It's a good reflection on you wanting to get it right. .
