What is your background and what field will you be applying your knowledge to?
There can be a rather wide gap between a theoretical approach that you might encounter as taught by a statistician and an applied approach you might encounter in a business statistics or social science statistics course.
Depending on your math background and the area of intended application, in my opinion, it would sway recommendations for a first 'book' on statistics for self-learning.
