A slightly heavier rope, like a nylon or lightly weighted cable, is usually easier to learn on because you can feel where the rope is at all times as it swings. A very thin, fast speed cable is genuinely harder to time as a beginner because it moves faster than your reflexes are used to. Most people move to a speed rope after a few weeks once basic timing and footwork are automatic.
Stand on the center of the rope with both feet and pull the handles up. For beginners, the handles should reach roughly to your armpits or chest, whichever feels more comfortable while you're still learning to time your jumps. Most adjustable ropes let you shorten this later as your technique improves and you want a faster rotation.
