Learning electronics the Indian way

So next I found a pretty good YouTube lecture on basic electronics given by Prof. T.S.Natarajan from Department of Physics, IIT Madras (Chennai). It's quite mispronounced, hideously produced but the basics seem to be there and despite the language barrier (which all told is pretty small) I found it easy to follow.

It's taught me some good fundamentals, including what I might need from a power supply and what a Digital Multimeter (DMM) does (measures voltage, resistance, etc).

Diode - cathode + anode

Triode - base + limiter + collector

It also really clearly outlined the 3 main categories of basic electronics; Components & Devices, Measuring Instruments and Circuits (sercyoots).

Passive Components = (result in decrease of voltage/current or no change at all)

Active Components = (result in increase of voltage/current)

I won't go in to too much detail as it's all in the above video if you can sit through it all. I find it's starting to fill in the details on a lot of terms I'm already familiar with but haven't investigated further. I'm looking forward to seeing how all these things interact.
