+1 to starting with menus and then branching out to keyboard key
sequences. Menus can help you explore Emacs features, and the menu
items also indicate the corresponding keys.
And LaCarte can help you explore the menus (using the keyboard),
especially when used with Icicles (substring matching etc.).
