Learning to cook

So my New Year’s resolution is to learn how to cook. I am almost 30 and have a child and as embarrassing as this sounds I do not know the basics of cooking. Like it all looks so confusing even reading recipes and watching videos. I’m confused as to how you know how high to set the stove, what knobs to turn, how long to cook things for, what and when to spray pans with, etc. I saw this video of this lady making a pasta that looked really good. But it looks like she was cooking the pasta and chicken at the same time on different sides of the stove??? She made it look so easy and said it only took 30 minutes. I really need help here 😣😣😣😣😣
