@nadnerB thank you. how can i get Virtual machine or get virtual machine for free? i want to learn linux at home any idea??

Yes, you can set one up for free.
Grab VirtualBox and also a Linux distribution like Mint or Ubuntu.You'll have to install it yourself but it's fairly straight forward and there is a lot of information easily accessible (via Google etc) on the finer details of setting it up.

Welcome to ML @jimmynelson
To get started with a virtual environment (playground / sandbox) you need to download a hypervisor. Assuming you don't have dedicated hardware to test on, you'll want a type 2 hypervisor. One of the most common Type 2 hypervisors is VirtualBox as @nadnerB has said.
It runs as an application within your current Operating system. It is designed for a few use cases. If this were a production environment you'd want to use a Type 1 Hypervisor, the top 3 in this category are (no particular order) XenServer, Hyper-V and ESXi. You can read up on the differences between type 1 and type 2 hypervisors here.
Start by downloading VirtualBox from here and to download Linux Mint or Ubuntu just head over to their respective websites and download an ISO from either of them.
Wish you luck, it's rather easy to get learning this.

@DustinB3403 i need trainer or whats about getting or apply for Redhat certification??

Slow down, mate. Don't get too far ahead of yourself.
Have a go at the VirtualBox setup and try out some stuff on Linux BEFORE you make a massive financial commitment. -
@nadnerB ok Boss thanks. Lol. l'll set up virtualBox start to learn.

Have a go at the VirtualBox setup and try out some stuff on Linux BEFORE you make a massive financial commitment.This is what I was trying to get at. Investing in training is a good thing, if you are certain that is what you want to do.
But start by getting a basic understanding of what it is you might be doing, before you go and invest in training.
