Have you done the art of war tutorials? They are essentially a tutorial to prep you for multiplayer. The early economy scenario is the most important. You should be able to comfortably get a gold medal from it.
>hotkeys
Start small and work up from there. The ones you absolutely need to know are:
>go to next town center
>train villager
>select next idle villager
The default hotkeys for selected units/buildings map the grid at the bottom left side of the screen to the keyboard. Press Q and it performs the action in the top left corner, A performs the action under that and so forth. With a villager selected, QQ builds a house and QA builds a farm. Experiment with this and you'll get familiar with it pretty quick.
Eventually I recommend adding hotkeys for
>go to blacksmith
>go to university
>select all barracks/stable/archery range
>select all markets
>select all tcs
>select all idle villagers
>select all idle military
