New player looking for opportunities to learn the game

Hello guys!
I'm very new to the game, never played retail, had some short adventures on privs years back.
I don't want to go straight for retail without any knowledge not to get lost and ff after paying ****load of money.
I would appreciate if there is any guild/player/players willing to help guide me throught the game, do some dungeons, battlegrounds and so on.
Have mic working etc. so that won't be a problem.
From looks/streams seems I can actually love the game, but this game is just H U G E, loads of stuff to go through and I don't want to get lost/skip important things and instead hate it.
If there are any good souls to guide me through, I'd be very happy.

This game is very different to retail. Retail is bleak and rushed in comparison imo.
If you wanna learn, have some fun and don`t let anyone tell you how to play the game, find out for yourself. And if you learn to enjoy it, then u won

Are you playing on Horde or Alliance?
