In the parking lot just aiming where I want to go and turning the bars that way had worked well.
Obviously once you are going faster it's different but still very unintuitive

If you've got a bicycle, go to some soft ground, take all/most your weight off the handlebars and just play around with them. Try pushing them left and watch and feel what happens to bike. You'll probably get it really quickly! It even works at low speed. Personally I find the descriptions of it far more confusing than the reality of it you can experience when you just play around on a bicycle (and then a motorcycle).
You've got so much fun ahead! I'm kinda jealous. You only get to go through that initial learning experience once. It's great fun. Bikes are awesome!
