There is one factor which counts above all others in trying to understand Derrida: you need to have an intimate understanding of the work he is commenting upon.
Trying to read Derrida on, say, Condillac, is absolutely pointless if you haven't read the Condillac.
Fortunately, in the course of his career, Derrida read through a large swath of the philosophical corpus, so it should be pretty easy to find a work of his which comments on something you already know well.
