Good Circuits To Build As A Beginner

As some of you may have possibly read in one of my older post's from a week ago I literally tried to bite off more than I can chew(lm386 amp + LED) and I was wondering which types of circuits are good for beginners to build other than some basic LED circuits?
I tried starting off with projects way above my current skills

Anyone knows how to remove some shiny black laquer often found on top of components, probably to obscure their make?

Here is 50 555 Circuits and some hundreds of links:

I suggest an electronic lab kit. Some are relatively inexpensive and they are an easy, solder-less way to experiment with and learn about many different simple circuits.
