All the practice you need to get you started:
Get any generator, hook it up, get it to oscillate, and then start from trying to get a stable picture. Then just rotate your controls and see what they do. Change offset, V/div, trigger level, time base, switch triggering modes. Play with it. It will be like a tutorial.
Following this, observe the safety rules and then you could try to see some real life things in your radio. Remember, do not use millivolts/div when looking at 100s of V/div or you could damage your front end amp.
Regular 1:10 probe with 10M input resistance is good for about 300V or so. So do not measure high DC levels with it.
