The only thing other than "practice" you can do is to use built-in J expression pretty-printer. It shows you a graph of an expression, grouping verbs with their arguments. I don't remember how to get to it exactly, I think it was somewhere in foreigns.

EDIT: it's even mentioned in the article, don't know how I missed it: 5!:4
