This is going to sound really basic, but a good start might be just to reproducibly generate and measure some signals: DC, AC, etc. Make an LED blink. Measure the voltage across the LED as a function of time. Get used to seeing a graph of voltage versus time, and interpreting it. Hook it up to a microphone and talk to it. Measure the headphone output of your PC.

This is all about just learning to think in terms of signals (static and as a function of time) and how they are measured. Try to predict what's going to happen, and see what you get.
