If you like to watch video, you can look at this very good one from Google io 2018 "How to Kotlin - from the Lead Kotlin Language Designer (Google I/O '18)", link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P20npkvcb8

The Kotlin Koans can be a really nice way to walk through the language features in a guided way: https://try.kotlinlang.org/#/Kotlin%20Koans/Introduction/Hello,%20world!/Task.kt
Kotlin in Action is a really good book that walks through the language in great detail: https://www.amazon.com/Kotlin-Action-Dmitry-Jemerov/dp/1617293296
Udacity has a couple of courses on getting started with Kotlin:

First book:
- doesn’t require Java knowledge
- easy introduction, will make you feel confident.
- get’s you up-and-running.
Second book:
Programming Kotlin * covers more and even advanced topics, like DSLs * has a thorough chapter about Coroutines * more the kind of CS textbook, but definitely not too dry!
Or this one:
Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide * more for the adventurous type * still solid and gets you practicing a lot * fun read, too
Also: You might want to consider Udacity’s free introductory course: Kotlin for Android Developers
And also the newer Android Dev w/ Kotlin Course: Developing Android Apps with Kotlin
Good luck on your journey!
