A VLAN is a virtual LAN so these are typically run on switches. If you want to pass traffic between them you will need a L3 device of some sort that also supports VLAN's, either a router or a decent switch. Also obviously some client devices to plug into the various LAN's that you are going to run.
If you want to do some of the more interesting things with networking then you will probably need a good quality switch that has support for all the modern features.

Would like to learn the basic's of vlans so i guess i want to learn first to pass traffic between them and clients on diffrent vlans.

There are virtual switches online and virtual labs online for free that could give you some experience.
You need to also learn traffic priorities using tagged traffic instead of VLANs, since they are often another way to manage QoS issues that would otherwise require a VLAN.
