Reading these articles will provide you with a solid understanding of how the blockchain works. I recommend starting off with the blockchain and then branching out to various cryptos.
I highly recommend The Bad Crypto Podcast. These guys are educating as they're learning themselves so the language is all really humane and understandable. Plus they're extremely fun to listen to!
Lastly, I really like playing around with faucets. Many are skeptical of them but I find them fun and a good entry to crypto. The rewards are minimal unless you're lucky. You can also gamble your earnings in various games so it's quite entertaining as well. Here below are the faucets I'm using.
Litecoin moon faucet
Bitcoin moon faucet
Dash moon faucet
Dogecoin moon faucet
Bitcoin faucet #2
Bitcoin faucet #3
More Doge, much wow
I especially recommend the moon faucets as they are all collected into a CoinPot microwallet where you can cash them out or convert them to other cryptos. Please use these links above if you decide to use the faucets so I can reap the rewards without any costs too yourselves:)
Happy learning!
Also, here you can score some free ActionCoins which will ICO in March
