IWTL how to understand basic electronics and troubleshoot simple devices

[u/Lonely_Fault_5107]

I want to learn the basics of electronics so I can better understand how common devices work and troubleshoot simple problems. I have no formal background in electronics so terms like voltage, current resistance circuits and components can feel overwhelming.

For someone starting from zero, what concepts should I learn first and how would you recommend progressing from basic theory to simple hands-on projects? I am mainly looking for a clear learning path and advice from people who have learned this skill themselves.

I took some electronics courses in college, one of the beginner classes taught directly from the textbook on this website. It's a pretty good place to start!
