I second Tim's suggestion here as well. Simulators are a great way to start out. You can make as many portfolios as you want, testing out as many different strategies as you like.
The only thing I would add is that, because you don't have your own hard-earned money involved, the perceived risk is muted or isn't there. Simulation really is a different experience than when your own money is on the line, and depending on risk tolerance, that could negatively impact your real trading decisions, when it matters most. So, you have to be aware of that and trade as realistically as possible.
Several simulators are out there, and they should be available for free. Good luck!
