Typography Advice for 1st year student

Hey guys,

I'm currently in my first year of graphic design and I was wanting to get some advice on how to improve my typography skills

I've seen people mention that it is a very important skill and I've also seen it in action how important it can be to a piece of work and a very valuable skill set for a graphic designer since not everyone fully understands it.

Just wanted to get a head start and see if people who have more experience have the time to share some advice on what I can do to understand typography better and practice everyday to get better.

Thanks for your time in advance.
