How did you? I really want to learn but I'm hesitant to actually try it.

It isn't terribly expensive. Type something like Jameco kit into amazon - they sell PCB kits with the components for $5-10 a pop. Grab a couple, put them together and see if they work.

Personally, I use a couple hundred dollar soldering iron - but a nice one could be had for less. Avoid the soldering guns, IMO and get one that has adjustable temperature.

Soldering surface-mount components is a little trickier - I would start with through-hole components first!

Good luck!
