I learned electrical and electronic fundamentals on the job working for a film industry supplier in Toronto. I'm kind of in the opposite spot— I'm just getting into modular electronics as part of my path to learning embedded engineering.
I highly recommend gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of electricity, then something about how those various parts play a role in a given circuit.
If you want a bit of a playground, you should try out Tinkercad. Just sign up, set up a new Circuit and you have all of those parts at your disposal. It might help to toy around with parts there while you follow along any tutorials or reading some basics.
For instance, try changing the resistor value in this circuit and watch what happens to the LED when it's on:

(hint: Try setting it lower, to say 1Ω from the default 440Ω. Then try setting it much higher like 10kΩ and see what happens.)
Also this gives a really brief breakdown of some essential knowledge:
