Focal length is like zoom, higher the mm, closer the thing in front of the camera will feel.
Max aperture is how big the hole through the lense is. A smaller number means that the hole is bigger and more light can get to the camera, which makes it easier for you to take photos in darker conditions. A smaller number will allow you to take photos where the background is blurry but the subject is in focus. The smaller the number means that the range of distance that will be in focus in a photo is smaller while the rest remains blurry.
There is probably someone on YouTube who will give you a much better explanation, with examples.

What is the difference between these two lenses?
Fujifilm XF 18mm f/2 R
This Fujifilm 18mm f/2.0 XF R Lens is a lightweight, compact wide-angle "pancake" lens equivalent to 27mm in 35mm format. The very fast, bright f/2.0 maximum aperture makes shooting in very low light possible, and provides pleasing bokeh.
Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8
The Fuji XF 27mm f/2.8 lens installs confidence as you shoot, making it the perfect wide angle lens.
Minimum focus distance (m) - this means how close I can get to an object and still be in focus, right? In the case of the second one above, this is 0.6m - ie 60cm - which isnt really all that close at all.
I dont really understand what Focal Length means, or who Max Aperture is
