Taking an ASA 101 course would be a great idea, since it would give you a very solid foundation of sailing knowledge and terminology. I'd also HIGHLY recommend you get Dave Seidman's book, The Complete Sailor, which is one of the best sailing primers I've seen to date and covers a fairly wide depth and breadth of subject matter.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
