This forum has a ton of great resources, and the people here are absolutely willing to help with any questions you may have. In other words, you came to the right place. :slight_smile:

This post has a great list of beginner resources: Free Resources for Beginners
It’s from 2016, so it may be missing some more recent stuff, but the resources are helpful nonetheless.

I found In Sente’s beginner series very helpful when I was starting out.
Nick Sibicky’s lectures and Dwyrin’s basics series are also great, but probably more suitable for DDKs or stronger.

Hope these help!
