Sounds sort of dumb, but I discovered by trial and talking to long term growers, that the best way to learn orchid growing is to kill some. As long as you don't repeat your mistakes, each "death" is a learning experience. Beside, when you begin to buy more costly plants, there is a great deal of incentive to keep them alive.
