I want to learn about Shi’ism

[Jazmina]

I’ve been Sunni my whole life but recently been interested in Shia Islam but I’m not sure where to start and what to learn or what to do any help? I’m not sure if I even put this in the right forum

This is good forum to start with if you are interested to know the Shia Islam. To begin with, we Shias believe in following things:

1. Oneness of Allah (عزّ وجلّ)

2. Adl or Justice.

3. Prophethood and FInality of Prophethood.

4. Imams or Vicegerents of Prophet Muhammad.

5. Qayamat or Judgement day.

We believe in the Practice of Following things:

1. Salah

2. Fast

3. Hajj or Pilgrimage

4. Zakat or Charity

5. Khums  (Another kind of charity levied in specific situations)

6. Jihad or Struggle in the Way of Allah (عزّ وجلّ)

7. Amar bil Maroof (Enjoining Good)

8. Nahi Anal Munkar (Forbidding Evil)

9. Tawala (Expressing and Showing Love towards Ahlebait (عليه السلام))

10. Tabbara (Expressing and Manifesting denial of those who are enemies of Allah (عزّ وجلّ) and Ahlebait (عليه السلام).)

If you have any questions, please do ask, we will try our best to answer.

Salam, welcome. For exploring different topics I would recommend al-islam.org and wikishia.net 

[Shian e Ali]

Although Wikipedia is rarely an authentic source of information, the page for Shia beliefs covers the basics well. 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_Islam

[AbdusSibtayn]

Our Belief (a primer on Shia beliefs) - Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Nasir Makarim Shirazi (ha)

This should suffice for an introduction.

Salam, I would start with this book

Inquiries About Shi'a Islam | Al-Islam.org

It give a brief explanation of the main facts of the Jafari(Shia) mathhab. 

It is brief, strait, and to the point. 

Any one of the these subjects could be a book by itself but don't get bogged down in the details for now. Just familiarize yourself with the main topics.
