If starting from scratch, first decide -what kind- of electronics you want to learn (analog, digital, audio, radio...) Maybe get a book of simple circuits you can build on a breadboard to help you decide what might be useful.
-Take it easy- and don't get in too deep. You want to learn, not get frustrated. (A mentor can be -very- helpful.)
I'd suggest breadboarding to 'learn electronics', while avoiding 'learning construction' at the same time. Also find out where you'll be getting the parts you need. As a beginner, you might want to start with a parts kit. Get a good book and learn what each kind of part is and the basics of what it does.
