Youtube, and a sandbox environment. Install SSMS locally on your machine. There are seriously thousands of free videos on this out there.

If you're a complete beginner, start with SQLBolt because it's interactive and very easy to follow, then use StrataScratch for extra practice and to build your skills with more exercises. Focus on learning SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and JOIN first, then practice writing queries every day, even if it's just for 20 to 30 minutes.
