I've heard of people learning how to do really even tension by practicing chains until all the loops are even, so it's probably not a bad place to start!
You'll get there, though. One of the big things it took me a while to learn, is that when you are stitching you pick up both the front and back loops together for a normal stitch.
When you're working on your foundation row (stitching your first row into your chain), it doesn't count of course. Stick it right into the middle of your v.
Personally, I hate going from chain to foundation row, so these days (unless I need to make sure something doesn't have much stretch to it) I foundation single crochet instead. I learned from moogly here: https://www.mooglyblog.com/foundation-single-crochet-fsc/
Good luck with your crochet journey!!!
