I just got it and I would like to know a suitable framerate for beginners and a quick tutorial on frame by frame animation

Generally you want to work at either 24fps or 30fps, and if you're doing frame by frame then you work on 2s (generally, some people work on 1s or -ahem- 4s ;) ) which means you draw one image every two frames. I'm not sure of a quick tutorial on it, that's kind of "How to animate" which would never be a quick anything. It's going to be a lot of work. Fun, though, so enjoy the experience! Good luck with it.

Just to be a bit clear...every 24 frames would equal one second if I were to choose that right?

Indeed it would.

Just a hint when working.

Draw your main key's and then get the timing of those key drawings right and then add the inbetweens. You'll find your animation maintains better structure, weight, arcs, easing, etc. That way you will know what you need to do on two's and what you need to do on ones. A simple rule is the stuff that looks like it stutters and isnt smooth on twos you fill it in with that one frame. It tends to be complex animations, or things going fast that needs the one frame.
