It's actually the other way around. You start with ammonia, then you get nitrites, and then nitrates.

Hecc
they sound the same, it's confusing

So, there are two ways to start a cycle. You can either put some fish food in the tank and wait for it to dissolve, or you can drop a little bit of ammonia into the water.
Test every day or two until you notice the ammonia levels dropping. This means that bacteria have grown in the tank and they are eating the ammonia. Now you can start testing for nitrites. The nitrites will slowly build up, while the ammonia goes down.
If the ammonia levels go down to 0 for several days, you can add a tiny bit more ammonia, or some fish food, to feed the bacteria.
After a while, you'll notice the nitrite levels go down. That means that more bacteria have grown and are eating the nitrites. Now you can test for nitrates.
Once all the nitrites are gone, and you have nitrates in the water, then you can add a little bit of ammonia. The next day, there should be no ammonia, or nitrites in the water. Only nitrates. Then your cycle is done.

yeah
that
