"... A typical way of choosing an opening repertoire is to copy the openings used by a player one admires. ... However, what is good at world-championship level is not always the best choice at lower levels of play, and it is often a good idea to choose a 'model' who is nearer your own playing strength. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
I would recommend watching opening videos on yt
Free and really useful
They're also good for beginner to intermediate levels (sometimes even higher)
Search up a video on an opening you wanna learn
I would recommend these yt channels as I have learnt a lot of theory from them

Surprised if someone reaches 1750 DWZ without any opening knowledge.
