A good start would be to learn the syntax of normal, non-SRB2 Lua.
If you have some background in programming, you'll find getting into Lua is fairly easy.
If you're new at programming in general... You'll probably have some difficulty understanding how programming in general works. However, Lua is one of the easiest languages to learn.
If you're willing to learn, you'll get into it at a decent pace.
This tutorial here tries to explain some of its data types and capabilities.
The Lua section of the Wiki provides some information about SRB2's Lua.
There are a plethora of tutorials surrounding Lua in the internet.
Lua's website provides a demonstrative interpreter so you can quickly try out what you learn.
Keep in mind that SRB2 changes Lua around a bit, adding new and different syntax as well as introducing "hooks", the main meat of the SRB2's scripting scene. You might want to get the hang of normal Lua first before delving into SRB2 scripting.
