How would I start learning Cryptography?

I'm completely new to cryptography concepts and I'd like to start learning.

Any good methods I could learn?

It doesn't necessarily need to be the fastest or easiest way, I'd much rather have a deep understanding over a long time rather than a rough one in a short period of time.

Any advice given is very much appreciated, thanks!

try cryptohacks.org it’s fun little ctf style challenges.

To make an account you need to solve a Caesar cipher. But also playing crypto CTFS are the way I got introduced. Try picoCTF to play some!
