Start with learning the basic game mechanics, what flop, turn and river is, what are the blinds and what actions like checking / betting / calling and the names of different positions (UTG, lojack, button, etc) (knowing positions is very important for estimating your strategy). Then learn the hand rankings (such as pairs, straights or flushes). Then you have to start learning the preflop ranges (basically the lists of hole cards you open from different positions, which is very important if you want to play well) and after that you can learn the postflop strategy or in other words how you have to play different cards on different boards from different positions.

Start by taking the 30-day Cardschat course, it's free, and the content is very good, I'll leave the link below.:)
