If you can find a HamFest in your area (they tend to pick up around the summer months) that's a great place to start and maybe meet a local Ham. If you know someone with a license you can operate at their station and under their call sign with their supervision and pick up a lot of the protocols and what the restrictions on popular bands are.

Picking up a Technical License or General License exam prep book is a good way to learn a lot of the radio and electronics technology too.
