If you really want to learn wheelies get yourself something like an XR100 or 200 and find a grass field. And take off the back fender since it'll snap off the first time you loop out. Get comfortable using the rear brake to balance the front end from looping out.

Sitdowns are easiest on a streetbike, stand up on a dirtbike in my opinion. Just remember to lean forward into the tank when you SLIP the clutch and pull it up. If you dump it and lean back you will be parting out whats left of your bike.

Please wear your safety gear and pick some place safe to practice.
