Yeah you pick it up fairly quickly if you play any conducted music. Especially because a lot of the gestures make a lot of sense. The beats are a pattern with beats to them and the common signatures you get a feel for. But like it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if the conductor is doing a rising motion at your section you should be playing louder and if it's increasingly frantic you should be increasingly loud until the hands either come together in a beat (loud finishing note) or they're separated in a way that will either signal to hold or to fade, or they'll just start doing a lowering motion to tell you to start piping down. It's all meant to be very intuitive
