I received this exact camera from my family along with some Fujifilm film. And it also has the exact same lens as in the photo... Would it be a good start to learning photography? I know it's not the best camera in the world, but it's the one I have.
I have a digital camera, but I don't know... I'd like to see what it's like to photograph in analog.

As far as manual focus SLRs go, there's not much that's better in terms of specs. 1/2000th on the top speed is higher than most except for a select few models, the only thing you'd really gain by getting a different camera is access to different glass and maybe better build quality. I would stick with it, just check the light seals before you start shooting. Also check around to see of you have any places around you that offer film developing, and how much they cost, and if they scan.Other than that, remember to expose for your shadows, negative film can handle a being overexposed a lot better than underexposed, which looks like shit usually.

I have one of these. I ran into mechanical failures with the film advance lever, but that was easily fixed. It’s a good machine, and you’ll have room to grow since this model is compatible with Zeiss Planar T* lenses.
