agree with the post that says to check out YouTube. I have quilted for years and I am still amazed at what I can learn there. There are tons of videos from the most basic to higher levels of difficulty. It would also be a good idea to pick up a "all about quilting" book from a library, or from a sewing machine store etc. That would get you up to speed on the terminology - and that's half the battle!
FQ, HST, nine patch, SITD, binding, batting etc can be intimidating until you figure out the "code."
