The Phenomenology? Yeah that preface is a piece of work. There's a lecture series on Youtube that might help but it's almost 200 hours long. If you're reading it only because you're trying to understand dialectics/dialectical materialism then I think you're better off saving it for later. Find a writer who engages with the dialectical (materialist) method that you can mostly keep up with and enjoy reading and start from there instead. So that might be, say, The Dialectical Biologist, or Capital, or Thought and Language. Ilyenkov has written some pretty good introductory and history essays on dialectics, too...
