   I have been using LaTeX since the early 90s so I am not the best person   
   to answer this as I don't remember how it was to learn LaTeX. I think   
   we had a book by Leslie Lamport and it was not a heavy read. Also,   
   I think there was a basic sample document show casing the basics. I   
   don't seem to be able to locate any of that quickly on the internet   
   right now -- maybe dated.   
      
   However, this might be useful: https://www.andy-roberts.net/latex/   
      
   Disclaimer: I have not studied this web site myself.   
      
   And, of course: https://www.latex-project.org   
      
   Then you could always cheat and use LyX: https://www.lyx.org
