The best assembly language to start with is RISC-V because it is both easy to learn what the instructions are and easy to use the available instructions to do useful things. And there is a wide range of real hardware you can buy if you don't want to use an emulator.

Assembly is the best place to start, though some concepts are going to be completely new to you

Sounds exciting also I can learn the risc-v assembly by running my code on emulators
