It was clearly demonstrated in the beginning of The Force Awakens that Rey is proficient with a quarterstaff so I had no trouble accepting she could pick up a lightsaber and grok it immediately. Quarterstaff to lightsaber should translate more easily than quarterstaff to longsword—eg no worries about edge alignment. Especially considering force sensitivity and all that pizazz.

Star Wars tells a story at the pace of a children’s tv show. Which is why we love it so much, it fits so much in.
Luke blasted womp rats, Anakin was a pod racer and Rey did crazy acrobatic shit while scavenging.
We got a small explanation which works if you know it’s Star Wars and you stop looking for a volume of exposition.
