Hi there.

There's no software that will teach you how to animate.

You need to pick a software and then use it every day.

If I were to learn animation all over again today, I would still pick after effects -for several reasons- but I wouldn't just use templates or YT videos to learn.

I would also try to apply the 12 basic principles of animation.

So I would carve out a time of day where it's just me using after effects for 1 hour, just learning the ropes, failing as much and as often as possible.

Not software, but check out The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams

This book teaches you the basic principles of animation. Understanding the basics of animation is much more important than the software.
