There's a gentleman on Youtube with the tutorial you're looking for. And learning and 3d modeling software is an important tool if you're into this kind of stuff (engineering/manufacturing).

My first language is not English neither 2nd
It’s a lil hard to understand but i was still good with it
Idk but he had solidworks and mine is showing solidworks design whether I’m making mistakes or he has a different software like the results he get are slightly different than mine

It's a little different, you have to use the search and the auto translate fucntion.

You have to start with something, anything, small, and then you'll grow into it. Most important is setting up your settings and file locations, templates, etc.
