My advice is to get an old cheap fully manual lens. Basically any Pentax 50mm is a good place to start and won't cost much. Atleast I didn't really grasp photography before I let go of auto functions for awhile.

In your OP you are showing a commitment to learning - nice to see.
My advice - a prime with aperture ring and manual focusing ability for when you are ready to move more to the core of photography. (auto everything ain't the core)
Guessing you are thinking new and on a budget.
How about this -
SMC Pentax-D FA 50mm F2.8 Macro Reviews - D FA Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
Capable of totally automatic operation as you start and fully manual operation as you smarten up.
A portrait lens
a close up lens
a macro lens (1:1)
a landscape lens in part
Hi image quality
And most importantly a lens that will retain a niche in your soon to be built collection.
OK ok so it is not a zoom but I am guessing you are young enough to take a few paces forward or back to get the image you want.
Note I don't own this lens - I dabble in older glass but I would rate my A series 50mm 2.8 macro as one of my most versatile lenses.
