Understanding the stock market and trading more

I understand currently, buying stocks at a lower price and trying to sell them at a higher, I'm learning slowly about ETFs, Indexes. However, I bought FRC, I know not the greatest move, but in trying to keep up with the move to make on it and the news about the institution I've found myself on Reddit and googling news a lot and not understanding a lot of the terms.

I'm VERY new to investing and I don't understand a lot. My question is where do I learn, besides by experience. Is there a reliable easy to understand source where I can learn more about how to trade? Some terms I'm surious about are puts, calls ( I know they're selling and buying at a predetermined price, but I don't get how they work), spreads, credit spreads, and countless others I can't remember. Where can I learn more?

Also, if this isn't the right place to post this, can someone point me in the right direction?
