You can't learn any skills until you have done the tutorial so it is a moot point. HOWEVER, we can get you in the game much faster if you open a help ticket/report a bug rather than post in the forums: http://beta.glitch.com/help/
Thanks Stoot, already did that. I'm using a crappy computer that can't cope with flash. It's awfully pretty though, and named after a fruit, just bl**dy useless :(
