When you install that database, you'll have some sample schemas installed (such as HR - human resources). You can connect to it and practice SQL skills.
Or, you can create your own user and work with it (create tables, insert data, etc.). That's a little bit more complex (as you need to issue certain statements you might not be familiar with ... yet). Anyway, everything's written in documentation. Read it, just as they are written on the page (readme first, then Installation Guide, Getting started, 2 day DBA, ...).
Here's a complete 11g R2 documentation; you'll be interested in SQL reference book, I suppose. Feel free to search and read everything you are interested in. Also, bookmark this forum, come and ask.

SQL DEVELOPER IS the free tool ,it is an application based...but for a beginner like you ..just try to practice from sql*plus with all the queries(syntax) rather than going for apllication based ....That will be helpfull to you.
