I would argue that the answer depends on your reasons for learning. If you want to study microeconomics for the sake of 'knowing'/studying microeconomics in the academic sense, take one the standard textbooks (i.e. Intermediate Microeconomics by Hal Varian) and work it from cover to cover. Afterwards, dive into the topics that you found most interesting. Also, a fairly strong background in calculus helps with the more advanced concepts. If you are interested in microeconomics for the sake of understanding something more about the (economic) world, ignore the math/simplistic models at first and try to grasp the theoretical concepts and, more importantly, the ideological/epistemological concepts behind microeconomics as a sub-discipline. Understanding the assumptions behind microeconomics (i.e. the idea of a fully rational human being) will probably give you something to think about. Besides the sources already mentioned (especially Khan Academy), I can recommend Jodi Beggs (http://www.economistsdoitwithmodels.com http://www.economistsdoitwithmodels.com) video series.
