If you have spotify you should listen to Vedanta Talks introduction to Vedanta. There are about 11 one hour courses that go through an introduction on Advaita Vedanta given by Swami Sarvapriyananda. He is a fantastic teacher and makes it easy to understand. I'm about 8 courses in and have just started reading the Upanishads and think this introduction will help a lot. Can probably find these talks on youtube as well.
