This bloke goes through some general things about different kinds of cars. Ive found it interesting to watch and Ive learnt a thing or two about basic stuff from the videos. Worth a look to pick up the basics, in my opinion

My automotive TAFE teachers use this site to show examples of how auto things work and how they are manufactured.

I find the best way of learning car mechanics is just to fix issues you have yourself. Even if its too hard, read up and figure it out.

Strait into the deep end I say.

When I was learning there was no such thing as the internet, it was near impossible to get the correct workshop manual for your car/bike, I had to dive in to learn.
But there is no harm in using the resources available today to learn and build your confidence.
