I originally learned Blender (back with version 2.4x) with a UI that was horrific, and then started learning the current UI layout with version 2.52 (IIRC), and tutorials is basically how I learned to do anything with Blender.

That said, however, even after using Blender off and on for a good many years, I'm currently taking The Complete Blender Creator course at Udemy, as they very often have sales on their classes for $10 to $15 for lifetime access. Even though I was already familiar with the UI layout, I've still been able to pick up a few tips and tricks as I work my way through the course. I can also vouch for the instructor, as he makes things easy to understand, and even though the beginning sections were more for absolute beginners, the videos of each exercise are well constructed.

Oh, and no, I'm not in any way connected with Udemy, I just happen to be taking this course (and a few others), and think n00bs to Blender would find it helpful, especially since they also have a community forum for this Blender class, and a few other courses, so there's somewhere you can post questions.
