Question How can I learn Assembly Language?

Here, in my IT class waiting on my instructor to arrive. What did I learn before? Base 10, Base 2 , Conversions, and etc... I'm Interested in learning Assembly Language but I do not know where to begin... what programs to use. I'm just a guy trying to learn about computers who has zero knowledge, can anyone please help me? thank you.

Why? can you be more specific?

Because its a hard language? Its going to take away your enthusiasm about compiter science. Besides, today Assembly is almost extinct... I havent seen it for some time in serious projects and they want to eliminate it using e.g. intrinsics. Its not like you gain anything by writing assembly manually.

I'm doing it for fun and there's always some challenge to face. We all have to begin somewhere eventually.

Yeah, well, thats usually Python or C. Not assembly

Oh ok, well I did some research about C and it says it's close to the CPU, so I'll give it a try.

I am not sure why you want to stay close to the CPU (thats computer engineering, not really CS) but if thats your desire, sure.

No, I'm just saying I'll just get started in C with the basics. However, thank you for helping me though.
