Can enyone teach me good openigs
Try youtube. No seriously, there are some really good instructors there. Most only take you maybe 10 or 12 moves deep, but your opponent will probably do something "out of book" by then anyway. Have fun!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to start with Discovering Chess Openings, a book about opening principles.

Here are some books that set out to help the reader to choose specific openings:

Be sure to try to use the openings in games in between sessions of learning. Most of the time, one faces a position with no knowledge of a specific move indicated in a book. One has to accept that as part of chess, and think of opening knowledge as a sometimes helpful aid. After a game, it makes sense to try to look up the moves in a book and see if it has some indication of how one might have played better in the opening. Many opening books are part explanation and part reference material. The reference material is included in the text with the idea that one mostly skips it on a first reading, and looks at an individual item when it applies to a game that one has just played. Resist the temptation to try to turn a book into a mass memorization project. There are many important subjects that one should not neglect because of too much time on opening study.

"... Overall, I would advise most players to stick to a fairly limited range of openings, and not to worry about learning too much by heart. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... I feel that the main reasons to buy an opening book are to give a good overview of the opening, and to explain general plans and ideas. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... If the book contains illustrative games, it is worth playing these over first ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... the average player only needs to know a limited amount about the openings he plays. Providing he understands the main aims of the opening, a few typical plans and a handful of basic variations, that is enough. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... Everyman Chess has started a new series aimed at those who want to understand the basics of an opening, i.e., the not-yet-so-strong players. ... I imagine [there] will be a long series based on the premise of bringing the basic ideas of an opening to the reader through plenty of introductory text, game annotations, hints, plans and much more. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2002)

"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)
"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)

That's doubled edged advice.
I feel like I could make some good youtube videos, so I don't say this lightly, but you probably want the youtuber to be at least GM strength. I guess a lowly FM or CM is fine, but the truth is any idiot can make a youtube video, and a lot of them do. It makes no sense to watch any idiot when you can watch a GM.
Plus people who make videos on dubious gambits never show the real lines. They show how you can win quickly when your opponent blunders. Sure that's important, but if they never show you any of the good lines then there's no point.
When you get better, try looking up 1. Nf3 as White and the Pirc as Black. These Indian setups helped me a LOT.
Dear Chessfriend,
Due to this coronavirus situation, I lowered my prices. Instead of 25 EUR or 30 USD /hour, my new pupils get a discount, so the new prices are 20 EUR or 25 USD/hour. 
Don't hesitate to send me a message.
My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).
I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
Why should you choose me?
- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).
- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.
- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.
- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.
- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.
Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message.
Move your pawn to:
White: e4 or f4
Black: e5 or f5
White: e4 or f4
Black: e5 or f5

A good opening is the English Opening, which you can find on Chess.com in the lessons page. Another great opening is also pawn to e5 if you are white

Pawn to e5 for white is a great opening, but it's a little hard to get away with...
I know, you either meant e4 or to advance to e5 as soon as possible. I'm just having a little fun.
