Excel Web is good enough for most users. You don't even need to learn any fancy commands, just simple mathematics is, again, good enough for most users. Google sheets will have all the same basic commands, just in a slightly different interface.
I've always found a personal budget to be a good learning tool. Write some expense labels on the rows, months in the columns, fill in a dollar amount in the middle and have a total column at the end. Formulas all follow the same general layout "=A1+B1+C1+D1". You can use mathematical functions too like "Sum" and "Average" etc which would look like "=SUM(A1:D1)".
Basically, just use it as a fancy calculator while you're learning.
