An interesting question. Everything about relational databases I taught myself. Your question is interesting because I used to ask people to explain them to me, and nobody ever could or did. Then I thought there was more to them than there actually is. Only by messing around with them does anything really get intuitive.
Nobody ever had the wherewithal to say it's a right join because the key is on the left side, and anything that could be paired with the key is on the right side even if it is from a different table.
Had anyone been able to say that to me bells and whistles would have gone off years before they did.
