The Am at the first fret (including open A and E strings) takes it’s root note from the A string. This is a standard chord shape and if you move it up one fret and use a ‘barre’ finger it becomes Bbm, another fret it’s Bm etc.
The Am at the eighth fret will use the ‘open’ Dm chord shape which takes its name from the B string.
Get a good book of chord shapes or something like the ‘guitar for dummies’ book. Most good learning books include a CD nowadays to make learning easier.

Stick with learning all the combinations on the first 5 frets, then go from there. If you can learn how to play a Full F chord, you will not have a problem playing an Am on the 8th fret, along with many other chords.
