I need to train myself to create tunnels and stuff like that, for a job.
So I set up VirtualBox and I plan to run on it my usual OS, currently Kubuntu 18.10
I guess that to login I would need to type something like
ssh myself@VM
but I have no idea how to set up the VM or my native system to enable such a connection.
All suggestions welcome (except "get another job", if you would be so kind )
You need to establish a network connection of sorts between your host and your guest. Read the following: User Manual, ch. 6.2. Introduction to networking modes including the Overview table, which shows quickly what kind of connection is required to achieve what you want. And remember, you can always have more than one network card in your guest to cover multiple scenarios.

I don't understand the "more than one one network card" but maybe I will after I have read the chapter you suggest.
I'm new to virtual stuff, so to me this sounded like a suggestion to open up the case of the machine and plug in an extra bit of hardware. Being able to do this virtually is strange to me, but seems interesting.
"Virtual" hardware means that you open the "virtual" case of the machine (the settings) and you plug an extra bit of "virtual" hardware (an extra network adapter from the settings).
Or in other terms, you shut down the VM, go to the VM Settings » Network. You have up to 4 network cards available from the GUI. You can enable one or more of them. You can have the 1st one "Attached to" the NAT network (which is the default) so that you can have easy Internet access from within the VM, and the 2nd one "Attached to" the HostOnly network so you can establish a connection between your host and your guest.

Both machines run Kubuntu. To launch the window where can start virtualbox, I type "virtualbox". Then I select my virtualbox and click "start".
Then I open another terminal (they're called "Konsole" in Kubuntu).
When I type :
ssh KubeVM
It says :
ssh: Could not resolve hostname kubevm: Name or service not known
