I had trouble getting anyone to help me learn to crochet. I am not good at watching a person do something. I purchased a child's crochet book ( sorry I don't remember the title) Just go to a local craft store and by a child's book or kit . I know you are not a kid BUT the children's versions usually have the SIMPLEST directions and EASY projects to get you started.
After you learn the basics and PRACTICE A LOT you can go to on line sites and learn more. Getting the basics down is the hard part .. with practice you will progress nicely.

If you can not get some one to teach you or take a class then maybe out of a book but I would suggest to try to learn it online first then go to the book a video would be better to learn from then a book.

I learned from a book. I get a lot of things on line, but I think when it comes to learning to crochet I would buy a very basic beginners book. It will be easier to refer to a book often. Also, you can take yarn, a hook, and the book anywhere with you.

I learned from a book. It's not very hard, especially if the book has good pictures.
I suggest Debbie Stoller's "Stitch and B*tch Crochet, The Happy Hooker." I know, it has a really irreverent title. :) But it also has really great instructions, and a ton of really nice easy projects, too.

I suggest you look at several books in the store and find one that has clear pictures and descriptions. Also, many craft stores have classes in the store.

I am using the internet to teach my boyfriend as he is left handed and I am not. He is picking it up alright. You might try pattern central. they have a free tutorial with pics.

There are also some really good DVDs available (JoAnne ETC or Michael's have them) if you are a visual learner...
