Use google (or some search engine) to find resources. I did a google on "sql oracle tutorial" and found numerous links to books, papers and websites.
Given that SQL is very much the same between different databases, you don't have to start with Oracle specific resources. I would guess that 80% of SQL is the same between database versions. Meaning 80% of what will work on Oracle, will also work with MySql, SQL Server, etc. Actually, I'd guess that it's higher than 80%.
The following site gives an introduction to SQL without being specific to one flavor:
