Google "fantasy investing" to find a good online trading simulator and then trade, trade, trade. Nothing compares to trading a real portfolio with "play money". Books are good for teaching basics about stock research but they don't teach you about your own psychological biases, risk tolerance, individual stocks' trading volume, etc.

At the same time, subscribe to some financial channels on YouTube (like Peter Schiff's for example) and watch them every day. Whenever you hear something you don't understand, read up on it. It'll take time but it will be worth it. (Just make sure you don't end up with all-bull or all-bear channels, like I said you want to keep your own emotional biases in check).
