How can I learn Lua and Love2D?

Hello there!
I wanted to learn Love2D to make games, but I have a very small programming knowledge, which is why I also chose Love2D to learn better.

Tho I have some difficulties guessing where to start, should I start by learning and mastering Lua first??
Or should I learn Lua while learning Love2D? And can you guide me to good resources to learn from?

And I apologize if my question is a bit silly, I'm just really new to this.
With love, Gor <3

the free version may be 20 years old but still works.
Read the first 3 parts.

Löve hides away a lot for simplification. The main loop for example, questionable if one can learn program flow that way.

You can just learn LOVE and find things of Lua as you go. You will have to learn common things like table handling, loops etc.
