If it's a small amount a hot wallet would be okay to start with.

A hot wallet just means a wallet that connects directly to the internet.

Electrum is a good educational type desktop hot wallet. So is Sparrow wallet. You can learn a lot from using either of those wallets or both.

Eventually you need to move to a cold storage wallet. I wouldn't trust anything that isn't open source. And I don't personally like secure elements. Because they're not open source.

I consider them all just a backdoor. On the other hand. Most of them are good enough with additional security measures. Like a high entropy bip39 passphrase..🧡😊
