arrl.org is a good resource, esp in the US. They also have a list of US clubs which can be really helpful for new hams.
W4EEY on YouTube has great study courses using the ARRL study manuals (make sure you are watching the latest v., intro vid will tell you). Many other options as well
Good luck!

Expensive is relative, but there are now more budget friendly gear out there. YouTube has many hits on “ham radio on a budget”.
If you want to listen search for KiwiSDR or webSDR.

Similar struggle here. At the moment, me and the letter “G” are having a tussle. I consistently hear “P”.
I set the LICW software between 25 and 35 as otherwise I start counting dits and dahs. This is single characters.
Words and numbers…that’s a different kettle of fish.
