Actually it's not that hard, BUT having grown up with these buckets of shit, you usually get to see lots of other people use them, before you are old enough to use them yourself..... and the adults will show you / help you out the first few times.
It's all analogue and it's sequential.
Thank fuck the rotary diallers are gone, the key pads came in (tone dialling) and push button auto-redial became a thing.
And then came the mobile phones.... from house brick size to top pocket size
The main issue of dislike - is that rotary phone pulse diallers are SLOW to get numbers called....

Yes. But you Still have to *pick up* the receiver so you can dial.
lol...alien technology
I mean the Rotary (pulse) dial phone and system was REALLY good, it's basic, it's mechanical and it's robust.
But you have no idea what a fucking pain in the arse they are, to have to ring 50 numbers in a row on.....
And it surprises me that once the system was universally adopted, that no one ever came up with anything better or faster or automatically repeatable for decades - until tone dialling became a thing..... I mean they could have used a higher speed push button pulse generator, with a memory for redialling complete numbers.
