Without a large background in AC, I think you'll have a pretty good experience starting out.
Animal Crossing is about taking pleasure in the little things that a simple life can provide. Enjoy it, and welcome ~
Welcome!
Here's a tip: Don't sell the first perfect fruit in your town, wait until you get an axe, chop down a tree and plant the perfect fruit there. It has a higher chance of growing in a place where a tree use to be.
Welcome to the forums! I would just play the game at your own pace as Serene said and learn the basics on your own. I personally think that you'll have a better experience that way. Enjoy the game and have fun!
Here's a tip: Try to plant lots and lots of perfect fruit trees (don't try to plant perfect fruits that are not native to your town, they won't grow) in your town! You could then gather up as much of those perfect fruits as possible and go to a town that doesn't have the same native fruit as your town and sell your perfect fruits at the Re-Tail there for a good amount of bells (hopefully that made sense lol).
